My story
So guys, for my Mom's 60th birthday she decided she wanted us all to run a half marathon with her. Initially I was not accepting of her wish, however I eventually (reluctantly) agreed! I have been training (very slowly) since March 2023, I knew I would have to take it slow due to my exercised induced asthma. It took me over 6 months just to run 5k without stopping. I still do not believe that I am going to be able to complete this half marathon. To add to things Mom wanted a picturesque run and not one on a road and so she chose the PEAK DISTRICT! It is described as an 'indulating' route with lots of hill so I will need all the best wishes possible!
The charity I have chosen is the Lucy Faithfull Foundation and it’s 'Stop It Now!' child sexual abuse prevention campaign and helpline. The Lucy Faithfull Foundation is the only UK-wide child protection charity dedicated solely to preventing child sexual abuse. This charity is close to my heart in so many different ways and I am very passionate about this cause. I believe that more needs to be done to PREVENT sexual abuse on children rather then being reactive to it and this is what the Lucy Foundation aims to do. Please donate to this charity on my behalf, any sponsorship will be greatly appreciated and will go towards some invaluable work.
There were supposed to be 7 of us doing the run and two people are already out due to injuries (including my Mom!), so we are dropping like flies. However I am now determined to do this half marathon even if it kills me and takes 6 hours!
Please donate!! (I need the encouragement!)
Thank you kindly!!
