Hello & thanks  for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Trace;

Well, we've done it! We've signed up & received our race numbers, so there's no going back, this is now all too real & serious now. My logic (yes there is logic) is,  if I'm going to take up running 

why not get some of you to support me AND a great cause  from the comfort of your armchairs. I have so far managed the Glossop Park run (5km) so the training is ongoing…

Whilst I get on with training, you can pledge a donation  to Willow Wood Hospice who looked after our friend Pat, with great dignity & care & her partner Angie & so many others. Pat would have been incredulous at me running, it’s not in my nature to exert much energy, where possible. We’ll keep you updated with our progress and if you donate I make a promise to cross that finish line. Some how. Thanks Tx

I was truly delighted when Trace asked me to run with her this year, no really I was & of course slightly stunned at such a suggestion from Trace. Not known for her physical activity!

Training for the run for me is consisting of running with a local group (Start2Jog) and Glossop Parkrun where possible, as well as trying to get out at least once a week with Trace for a run/jog/walk/natter. I’m actually really enjoying the build up to the day this year. Last weekend’s training was excellent. Trace completed her first Parkrun so we had cake. The cake was excellent, as was the run. I can’t wait to see what we get to eat after running 10k!

I’m also pleased to be doing something so positive and raising money for a great cause in memory of a great woman. As for what Pat would have to say about us doing the run??

I think I know the exact words……..

Thanks for all and any support

Trace & Mandy
