Story

Hi

For those of you that arent aware of my story and the reason behind the fundraising:

Im Jane Roberts and in March this year I was diagnosed with a nasty brain cancer. Ive since learned its inoperable and incurable, but fortunately they now believe it to be low grade. So whilst I am well with it, I want to give back to the charity that have helped me navigate this diagnosis and support me when my world spun upside down.

I completed the Couch to 5k the week before my diagnosis and have managed to keep up my running ever since - albeit I am pretty slow and find it really hard. Doing a half marathon was something that always felt out of reach. The only thing that got me to agree is fundraising.

There is an amazing team of runners assembled to raise as much money as possible for this fab cause. Oh and did I mention I am doing it in a giant brain costume. Just for extra awareness raising, increased sponsorship and abit of fun!

The team is made up of:

10k team

Joanna Verity

Diane Middleton

Sarah Hayett

The half marathon team

Helen Tuck

Rachel Forbes

Mark Forbes

Anna Gow

Fabi Garay

Jodie Pearce

Janine Greening

Paula Hodder

Michelle Cave

We would love it if you could sponsor us a few pennies (pounds) to motivate us along the way. Thank you so much,

Love Jane and the team :-)
