Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Why am I running the Birmingham half marathon ? ( it is something I keep asking myself as I start my training ! ) well its something i've always wanted to do, and at 41 I aint getting any younger, and before anybody else says it, slimmer either ! so I thought I needed to get my (fat) arse in gear and get signed up - which I have now done, so no going back. Its not something I think I will be repeating again, so for such an earth moving event ( literally, have you seen me run ! ) I decided I would try to raise money for a local charity - for which I have chosen Acorns. Having my beautiful daughter Aimee to look at every day is fantastic, and I couldn't imagine how families cope with a son / daughter that has a life limiting and life threatening illness, so trying to raise money for such a good cause as Acorns, where they support such families is a no brainer !
