Story

I have loved running ever since I left school and its always been a part of my life, and although I have often thought and talked many times about running my first ever marathon, I've never actually committed and taken the plunge... until now!!  I'll be 50 in less than a year and when a charity place became available for St John Ambulance I just thought its now or never!!  I don't want to regret never trying, and to earn money for this fabulous charity is a great incentive for me. 

This particular charity means a lot to me for a few reasons. My Grandpa was involved for most of his long life with SJA. He formed a SJA division at the power station he worked at, completed many years of service for the charity ending as a officer Brother of the order. He lectured, participated in first aid competitions and assisted in ambulance duties for many years even after retirement. My Dad spent many years also volunteering his spare time including taking disabled passengers on the St John canal trip boat. My Uncle and cousins were also heavily involved for many years of their lives. 

The work that goes on behind the scenes is incredible and your support with any donations will enable SJA to continue to be the nations leading community health and first aid charity.
