Varsity 10K, Liverpool half marathon, Sheffield half marathon, Great Manchester run, British 10K, Chester Marathon and more!
After learning to love what I once hated doing most, and the success of the Sheffield half marathon and British 10k in 2012, I have decided to set myself one big challenge for 2013... to run 100 miles in races (with nothing less than 10k) and 1500 miles in training! First up will be the Liverpool half marathon on 17 March (rapidly approaching!) with the rest of the year including many more half marathons, a few 10k's and possibly even a marathon! We'll see how it goes, but I'll keep you updated!
I am trying to raise money for Ostomy Lifestyle, a small charity which have continually provided my Mum with support and assistance after her stoma operation in 2006.
Ostomy Lifestyle compliments the primary care sector in not only providing people with information and advice on stoma surgery which quite frequently follows medical conditions such as Chrons disease and cancer, but also supports people after surgery in stoma management, body image and the effects it can have on ones lifestyle.
Over 22,000 people of all ages, race and gender have a colostomy each year in the UK. Many people often find it hard to adapt to life with an ostomy but with the help of Ostomy Lifestyle, they can get help with improving their fitness and body confidence following the operation which will reduce the rehabiliton time and allow patients to lead full and active lifestyles.
This is a huge challenge for me and will keep me going all year! I would love to raise as much money as possible for Ostomy Lifestyle so that they can continue to provide their excellent support in helping people like my Mum to continue to lead happy and active lifestyles.
I would really appreciate your support and of any donation you give, nothing is too small!
Thankyou very much,
Lizzie/ Rosie!! xx
