Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. This will be my first half marathon. I'm not a natural runner and don't particularly enjoy it. I've chosen it as a challenge and raise money in memory of my mum.
£500 could pay for a bed for a day of inpatient care for a hospice patient. So this is the target I'm aiming for. The work and care Sue Ryder provide is just fantastic, and it's all free for those in need. My mum spent time at Leckhampton in 2003 when she was suffering alot with secondary cancer. They helped her with her pain and worries. Then they helped her come home before Christmas so we could spend it together as a family. Sadly my mum passed away on 8 January 2004. My mum really appreciated the care she had at Sue Ryder and so I want to give back to this great charity.
In the past I've done 5k and 10k a while ago. So now I'm training and will be part of the Sue Ryder Run Club from May onwards to help me achieve this mammoth distance!
I'll be thinking of my mum and others who have passed whilst tackling the 13.1 miles of the half marathon!
