EDIT: THANK YOU EVERYONE - every £ kept me going and i made it in a deeam time of under 2 hours (1:58:02) !!!

Many of you know I started running last year and never thought I’d make a 3 mile parkrun without stopping! Well with the help of some great running buddies and the best Running Club, I am now seeing if Ican push to 13.1 miles for my first Half Marathon.

Some of you know I unfortunately contracted C Diff last year and with 4 relapses, copious different antibiotics, a stone weight loss in 8 weeks and a hospital stay later I am almost lucky at this stage I only have post C Diff IBS….. but it hasn‘t made for an easy training period so far!!

Wish me luck and help support two charities that are so close to my heart:

- The Playhouse Foundation provides the ABA programme and support to children with Autism in Hampshire. I am proud to be a Trustee of this wonderful charity.

- The Olive Branch Counselling service Winchester, providing affordable Counselling to the local community. I have been a volunteer trainee Counsellor here for the last 7 months. I remain passionate about keeping Counselling accessible to all.

Just think, if you all gave £1, how much good we could all do…… (and every £ spurs me on!!). It’s my wish we try to keep their totals equal 🙏🏼
