As my running days draw to an end (did they ever really begin?), I’m attempting my first half marathon for SHINE, an amazing charity that needs and deserves additional funds to continue its fantastic work. I’ve been putting the hours into training and reckon I can go the distance, if the wind is in the right direction!

Shine provides specialist support from before birth and throughout the life of anyone living with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus, as well as to parents, families, carers and professional care staff. Shine enables people to get the best out of life.

Everything they do is made possible by generous supporters. Every donation has the potential for profound impact.

If you can find something to donate, whether it’s the price of a pint (actually a significant sum in the Haslemere pubs) or more if you feel able, that would be very much appreciated

THANK YOU for supporting Shine!
