Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Working at Edinburgh Leisure I see the power physical activity and sport has on improving people's lives.  So, it's time I practice what I preach and I've signed up to complete the 5 x 50 challenge - committing to being physically active for 30 minutes and achieving over 5km every day for 50 days.  This is going to be a massive challenge for me, but in doing this I'm hoping that my fitness will improve and that I'll change my habits and make physical activity part of my daily life to improve my long-term health and wellbeing.

To keep me motivated I hoped my friends and family would sponsor me to keep active and ensure I don't return to the couch before my 50 days are up.  You all know I'm a fundraiser, but not many people realise that Edinburgh Leisure is a charity dedicated to creating opportunities for EVERYONE to get active stay active and achieve more.  Any money you donate will go to Edinburgh Leisure's Jump In project - so more pre-school children affected by poverty get the chance to learn to swim. Healthy, Happy, Childhood Memories, whilst learning a sport that can keep them active  their whole lives.
