Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page :)

I have decided to raise some money for Destination Florida so that I can help give more children the amazing experience that I was lucky enough to be part of last year. 

Destination Florida is a small charity that takes poorly children on a once in a lifetime holiday to Florida. These children are often suffering with very complex illnesses and don't enjoy the normal freedoms that other kids their age do.

I was lucky enough to accompany some of these children on their last trip to Florida in 2014 and was shocked at how much these children have to deal with on a daily basis. I would love to be able to give something back and try and help more children experience the joy of just being a kid and having fun!

My plan is to run at least a mile a day for the next 365 days and hit a target of at least 365 miles in a year! 

I am not a natural runner and have never taken part in any kind of running race so I'm a little scared of the thought but determined non the less! The more I run, the easier I will find it so I will continue to increase my daily runs as my body gets used to it and provide a total at the end of my 365 days. 

If I could find 100 people to sponsor me 10p per mile (£36.50 for the year) I would be able to raise £3650 and so I have set this as my target although I would be extremely grateful for any sponsorship that people could offer :)

Please support me and this amazing charity so that we can let these gorgeous children escape their illnesses just for a week!  

I plan to start my year of running on the 14th June 2015 and will provide a daily photo log to prove I have completed it!!
