Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm having a go at my first 10k in aid of Leeds Cruse.  The service is provided by highly trained volunteers who helped over 500 bereaved people in Leeds last year.  Grief affects everyone - it is the price we pay for love. 

Although I am a trained fitness instructor, through several bereavements of my own  I have neglected my own exercise regime.  The York 10k in aid of Leeds Cruse has been a great spur to make me don my trainers again.

I have been helped enormously by Pat and Georgia at York Pilates Space, as the postural discipline and strength work is a great basis for beginning a tough training programme.  

I started by alternating run/jog/walk sessions around the river in York.  I've gradually built up the distances so I'm hoping I can run most of the course.  Thanks to Holly and Mike at White Rose Clinic in York for their care and treatment of my poor feet and aching muscles!

Please encourage me to believe I can do this by sponsoring me, however little - it will help so much.
