Story

Hello and welcome to the little running unicorns raising money page.

I'm not quite sure still that a marathon is a good idea, and even less sure I'll be able to run for this long. However I must try . . . why?

To raise money of course, for a good cause, not just my own back pocket! Not everyone who knows me will know this but I'm quite a sentimental soul, and I believe that making memories with friends family and loved ones is one of the most important things in life. The thought of an incurable disease taking those memories I hold so dear quite frankly scares me, so I would like to try and help save myself, and any stranger and their families from having to go through this.

My Grandma suffers from this disease, and I find it so hard to reason how someone so kind and patient, who gave me so many happy childhood memories and shaped me into the character I am today, could be robbed of their memories.

So, if you're feeling generous please donate as much as you can to my cause, to make all the pain, blisters, chafing and sweatiness worthwhile!!


THANK YOU!!!!!!
