Hi friends

For a long time I have wanted to run a marathon. The Edinburgh Marathon, which I was going to do in May, has been cancelled. I have kept up with the training and I run in quiet areas where I hardly meet anyone, where I live.  Its been hard to to run by myself and keep up with the training plan without my running friends, but I have been managing. 

I will do my own quiet marathon on May 16th locally.  I still want to raise money for Bethany Christian Trust and don't want this amazing charity to miss out on having needed funds.  They are doing great work at this time of COVID 19 to help many men and women and families in Scotland who are in difficult circumstances and suffered much already.  There is compassionate care and help with accommodation, food and other supplies in communities across Scotland. Please see https://www.bethanychristiantrust.com/about/  for more information. 

I am am sending this just giving page to you and other friends I know by email. I won't publish this on social media as I don't want to offend or upset anyone by running outside at this time.

Please also do not feel in any way obliged to give as I know some of you are finding things more difficult financially at this time.

 I will let you know how I get on after the 16th May. Thank you for your support :) Jean
