I started running February 2009 just to lose weight (See Photo 2), lost 5 1/2 stone and got the running bug. I recently ran a 10k at Edwinstowe, which I really enjoyed, and was then asked if I would run for charity.

I decided I needed a challenge and so that is why i chose the Kilomathon.

The charity I am running for is The Sheffield Childrens Hospital to help support the excellent work they do, non more so than the treatment and support they have given to my niece who was born with Bilateral Talipes Equinovarus.
