Story

I'm Jilly, you may know me as the cake lady from Jillys Cupcake House. I am a keen baker and active fundraiser for the AT Society through the sale of my cakes.

However, I thought I'd change things up a bit. And by a bit, I mean A LOT. I've decided to run 1.5 miles and dad will be running beside me, making sure I don't die!

For those of you who know me, will know that running is not my thing at all! But over the last few years my mobility has increasingly declined. So at the risk of sounding slightly morbid, I'm taking this as my last chance to do a run, on my own 2 feet, while I still can.

Whilst 1.5 miles may not seem like a lot for many. It is a MASSIVE deal for me, especially seeing as I struggle with walking the length of my garden!
