OK a bit of a shameful request
I have mentioned a few times about my intention to run the London Marathon and some of you may have thought I’ve been very quiet and yes I have been rather quiet. After announcing that I had got a place in the marathon I encountered 4 emergency ambulance admissions to hospital, 17 visits to hospital, 19 visits to my GP and 1 visit to the minor injuries unit
In June running a bath was about as energetic as I got and then I decided to achieve my 9 year ambition to run the marathon, fortunate enough to get a place I agreed to raise £2000 for the Blue Cross.
Training has had it’s ups and downs. I tend to get back on my feet then disaster strikes again. Tonight however after yet another emergency doctors appointment I am equipped with medication and more determined to achieve this. How does that saying go? “No pain no gain”? and that song “The show must go on”?
Months ago I was doubting my ability yet I had months to train… now I am determined that although time is against me I will not give up. I’m a rather tenacious, stubborn female and very much like a beagle I don’t give up easy.
I am however desperate for a little support with my fundraising. A group of PF members from the Plymouth area are taking part in a Ferry collection, I will be swimming in the sea on new years day as well as organising a dog show.
The Blue Cross help many animals from small animals to horses including cats and dogs. I am very proud to be fundraising for such a worthwhile charity and I am calling on anyone who feels they can support in anyway whether it’s through donating via my JustGiving page or organising an event to add to the fund.
I have had a few horrendous months and as a result have not given my full attention to fundraising and aim to put 110% into this now. Any amount helps towards the grand total and I’d be so grateful for any amount given.
I will update on my progress of all fundraising I do and would like to thank you all in advance.
