Story

I know everyone gets lots of requests for sponsorship and I realise that we are sadly awash with terrible global disasters, however, if you could spare something, anything to sponsor me it really would make a huge difference to a very small charity that is close to my and my family's heart.

The Orpheus Centre is the college that my step-sister, Kim was attending when she sadly passed away.

It is a fantastic performing arts centre for young disabled people offering many the opportunity to experience a lot of independence whilst having fun and learning new skills (Kim got to perform at the Royal Opera House and Coutts London HQ!).

Finish: 26th April. Pleased with 3.16.15 (top 7% of runners) and enjoyed the experience - thanks to my cheerleaders and thanks to everyone for donating. It really does make a difference.
