Story

Time for a new fundraising challenge post lockdown having had a couple cancelled... 

I'm not much of a long runner, 5k mainly and a few 10k races, so I thought I would go for a distance challenge. Straight to a half marathon -13 miles or 21k!! The thought of it when I said I was going for it scared me. But I wanted to do something to stand out for a non racer. 

The MS Trust is such a wonderful charity that relies on donations. They are very close to mine and my family's hearts providing so much support for anybody diagnosed with MS, as well as their families and friends. Anything that is raised is a bonus, and the sight of me at the end of this will be worth it....so please donate if you can - and remember to tick gift aid (that taxman will then top up your donation).

Thank you in advance, very much appreciated.
