Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This is my very first marathon ever! So to say Im a little nervious is putting it mildly,but Im running for a great charity THE SICK KIDS FRIENDS FOUNDATION. Based at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh, the Foundation helps fund extra medical equipment,improves facilities,finances specilaist research and training and most importantly extra comfort and support to young patients and their families.  It also not only helps the Hospital but many other health centres in the East of Scotland.

When my nephew was in Hospital in Cardiff with an intercepted bowel he was 2 and half years old. He had to have surgery and its hard enough being an adult going through that experience,but imagine being a child and a little child at that.  My family went through a hard time during my nephew's recovery but luckily my nephew is buzzing around and playing like any other child should be in the those primary school years,mainly thanks to the support of the play staff,nurses and others within South Ward at the Heath Hospital.  

I can only imagine what the kids and families at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh must have to deal with on a daily basis,so help me help sick kids feel better!

I will keep you all posted on my training and will need your support particulary when I get to MAY!
