Run Norwich · 7 August 2016 ·

The mission of Nelson’s Journey is to increase the self-esteem, self-belief and wellbeing of bereaved children in Norfolk, by enabling families and wider society to talk openly about death and bereavement, and for children to express and understand emotions.

Story

I am taking on the Run Norwich 10K on Sunday, August 7, 2016 for Nelson's journey. 

Most of you will know I have been on a fair old journey of my own over the past three years, losing over half my body weight on the way to having completely transformed my life. I couldn't have done that without the support and love of my friends and family who pushed me all the way. Nelson's journey helps those Norfolk children who have lost a big part of their support network through bereavement. 

For my part, I'm willing to run as fast as I ever have done. I'm not content with simply participating in my first ever public running race, I'm determined to run it as fast as I can. I've got to about an hour for 10k in training, but I know with your vocal (and more importantly, charitable) support, I'm going to be aiming for as close to 55 minutes as I can. I've no idea if I can do it, but I'm going to give it a bloody good go... 

So, please give as much as you can to this worthwhile cause, and help push me to the fastest time I can possibly get to! 

Many thanks, 

Lee
