Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

So here I was in April this year, sitting in my lounge room watching millions of people attempting to run the gruelling 26.2 miles of the Flora London Marathon in the rain.  In Tenerife where I live I was sitting in bright sunshine with the air conditioning on full blast.  I live right by the sea and having given up smoking last year for 6 months I had started running each morning.  That lasted for 6 months when I weakened and started smoking again.  I thought I would be able to give up again after christmas but for some reason I just couldn't quite do it.  Anyway sitting watching these runners - I proudly announced (much to the shock of my parents and husband) I am going to run the marathon next year - just once in my lifetime - but I am going to run it.

I contacted Phab in May this year to ask for a place in the Flora London Marathona.  I am very pleased to say I was accepted and now here I am training to complete the longest run I will ever achieve in my life.  I have stopped smoking again and am running 3 to 4 times a week.  The longest run I have dne so far is 10km (that's a quarter of what I need to run).  Phab is a national charity promoting and encouraging the coming together of, on equal terms, of disabled and non-disabled people to acheive an integrated and inclusive socity.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Phab gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
