Hi, thanks sooooo much for visiting my page.

Back in September there was a works article to win a golden ticket for a place in the Virgin London Marathon raising funds for AgeUK, which is Bupa's chosen charity for 2016. As soon as I saw it I thought this could be my chance! I had always had it on my bucket list but never really thought I would ever get the opportunity as it is so difficult to get a place. So I entered and to my excitement and trepidation in equal amounts... I won a place!!!

So before I started my training plan back in January, the furthest I had run is the Manchester 10K!!! So you will probably gather that this hasn’t been an easy ride!!! It has been the most gruelling, sole destroying, uplifting, time consuming, painful, thrilling, over powering, strengthening, amazing, brutal thing I have ever done! I have had my ups and downs, good and bad days and weeks.... but the support I have had from my family has been amazing and from friends and colleagues, it has been overwhelming. I thank everyone of you from the bottom of my heart and I wouldn’t be able to do what I am doing if it wasn’t for you all, especially Rob, Rox and Brandon.

Age UK is becoming more critical for the older generation... we are living longer and unfortunately this means that there are many people living alone with minimal contact with others and financial backing. This can leave them sad, lonely and unhealthy.... I believe that raising funds for Age UK can help millions of elder people live easier, healthier and most importantly happier lives.

So if you could spare any amount at all to sponsor me I would be eternally grateful and if it enables me to hit my target then it would have made all the pain worthwhile and it will be making someone’s life just that little bit better.

Thank you and much love to you xx
