<p>Update 15/11/10<br />FINISHED!!! Completed the race yesterday in pouring rain in 2hrs14m51s. We've made it over the finish line in more ways than one - Rocky video is filmed, in the editing suite and a link will be sent out to donors shortly. Thank you everyone!!! Susie x<br />**************************************************************</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>This November, I'll be running 21k round the seaside town of Bexhill. This is a big personal challenge for me - I've never run even close to this distance, plus I'm coming back from illness and injury to take it on. (Hence training in rain and wind in autumn rather than in balmy summer sun!) Last time I did a running race, it was 10k, I was the right side of 30, and a lot fitter. Oh, plus my husband has morphed into Speedy Gonzales and so expectations are high and sympathy at home thin on the ground :-)</p> <p>As you all know, I work for the Bromley by Bow Centre, a truly fantastic charity in the East End of London who help people in one of the UK's most deprived areas to improve their health, gain new skills and get a better chance in life. Like many of the UK's less well known charities, we have a tough year ahead where we're working hard to maintain the services we offer to local people. Your generosity will mean that more people in need can be helped.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
