Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've stupidly decided to challenge myself more than I have ever done before and have signed up to run the Dubai Marathon in January 2016.

I'm not just running to challenge myself but also to raise money and awareness for a cause close to my heart. Therefore I have chosen to run in aid of the Meningitis Research Foundation in memory of Georgie Hall who was sadly taken from this world far too early.

Anyone who has children will understand how important it is to raise awareness of the symptoms of the disease.

I actually hate running and my physique is not particularly suited for a marathon distance plus I have arthritis of both hips so this is probably not the best idea but Im going to push myself to my limits. I'm not targeting any specific time, getting around the course is my only goal!

Any donation - big or small will be greatly appreciated and will help to motivate me to complete the distance.
