🏃♀️ 10 miles, two sisters and one very annoying minute to beat! 😂
16 years ago, my younger sister ran the Great South Run in 2 hours and 1 minute… and she has hated that ONE minute ever since! 😂
So, naturally, I said I’d do it with her this time around. Not sure what possessed me, considering I’m now an antique trail runner with a dodgy knee, but here we are! 🤣
On 18th October, we’ll be taking on the 10-mile Great South Run together — and if I’m going to hobble my way around 10 miles, I might as well do it for a cause that means something to me. ❤️
I’ve known Carmela since she was a tiny baby and have watched her grow up facing the challenges of LMNA Congenital Muscular Dystrophy, while also doing an incredible amount to raise money and awareness for others.
Her determination, strength and endless fundraising have been pretty amazing to watch over the years, so this time it’s my turn to put myself through a challenge and help support the cause!
Every donation, however big or small, will give me an extra reason to keep hobbling when my dodgy knee starts questioning my life choices! 😂🏃♀️
Thank you so much for supporting us — and Carmela. ❤️
Now, can we finally get my sister under that 2-hour mark?! 😂💪
Just4Children are fundraising to help support Carmela with vital therapy equipment to keep her as healthy, strong and independent as possible. The funds will also help provide specialist physiotherapy and massage therapy.
