So, everyone that knows me will recognise this is probably one of the most stupid things I’ve agreed to do. Somehow my casual 5-10km runs to escape my demons has turned into me agreeing to run a full marathon. In Germany.

I’m absolutely not built for a marathon, so this could be a catastrophe for me and absolutely hilarious for spectators. If I raise enough money then I’ll probably enter another one next year (if I survive this one)

Hospice of the Good Shepherd provides its services free of charge to its patients and costs £5.2million to run each year with just 17% of the funding we receive coming from statutory sources. The remaining 83% is raised from a range of fundraising activities and the support of our the generous local community in Cheshire. In addition, they raise money through their local charity shops and weekly lottery.
