Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and hopefully reading a little bit about this challenge....

The Charity 

My childhood was awesome.... that isn’t meant to sound like a brag.... I was just a very lucky and happy child. From growing up with farming to adventurous experiences - there were so many experiences that I probably took for granted. Not every child had the opportunities that I did, which is why I really love the work of The Children’s Centre. 

Their work is not only involving children, but also young people and families. It’s so much more than just providing activities; it’s teaching people how to look after farm animals and grow vegetables, giving them experiences in adventures through MOBEX and supporting families through difficult times.

I wouldn’t be the smiley person I am today without my experiences and I really want to give other people the chance to smile. 

The Plan

To run 100 miles in one go on the 15th June 2019 just under a month after the annual Race the Sun event that is organised by the Children’s Centre. 

Ordinarily this would be run as a team of 10, however, after completing leg 2 of the race for the first time in 2018 a little voice told me it would be a great idea to do it all... alone.  

Whether it’s donating some money to help fund this awesome organisation, coming for a training run (maybe even running some of it on the day) or just yelling some encouragement, any help would be massively appreciated. 

Lots of Love
