Running the Cardiff Half Marathon for DEBRA

Another update: I have now exceeded my latest fundraising target of £1,750. This is amazing - thank you so much!

Training continues to go well. Last week, we were on holiday in Devon and I was spoilt with beautiful views overlooking the sea (see image below)! I have now reached the 10 mile mark, which I am very pleased about with just under 4 weeks to go!

Last week I surpassed my fundraising target of £1,500. This is amazing - thank you! With still around 6 weeks to go before the half marathon, I am hopeful of raising more funds. So, I have increased my target to £1,750.

I managed an 8.5 mile run last Sunday. I still have a little way to go in terms of distance, but I am confident that this is achievable in the coming weeks.

Yesterday I achieved my original target of raising £100 per mile of the half marathon, which is brilliant! This is much sooner than I expected - thank you!

However, with still around 7 weeks to go, I think there is still ample time to raise more funds for DEBRA and awareness of EB. So, I have increased my fundraising target to £1,500. Thank you for your support.

Thank you so much to those of you who have donated so far! I am so pleased to see that I have nearly reached my fundraising target, particularly in such a short space of time after setting this page up. However, I do hope to raise more funds to support DEBRA and raise awareness of EB.

Training is going well. I have started jogging twice a week to improve my fitness, and managed 7.5 miles on Sunday. It’s tiring work, but the countryside views make it easier.
