The time is nearly up, over the last two years my life has changed dramatically. I got married, brought a house, changed career, adopted a dog and slowly but surely became an adult! Something I am very proud of is the fundraising I have completed for Julia's House. In total including the plane pull and two 5k races, I have raised £2,600.00. I still have ten challenges to complete and am looking forward to the challenge continuing over my thirties. Julia's House will always have a place in my heart and I feel sure that after my 30th birthday on the 1st December 2016, I will continue to support them in some manner over my lifetime.

Thank you to everyone that has donated, given up their time and supported my journey.
