I thought I would make my 2020 challenge a bit harder and tackle a Marathon!! This is a huge feat and requires a lot of effort to drag myself out for training runs 4 times a week often in the dark, cold and rain.

Your support means a lot and will help get me round that 26.2 mile course and will help 2 local amazing charities, Mentoring Plus and Genesis Trust. Many thanks. Julia x
