1/2 way through

Monday 12th Jan
I ran-walked 32/64 km. There have been days like this past weekend where I would have preferred to stay in bed. Thanks to your kind generosity and words, I went out there and pushed through. Just a little every day. 

Thoughts on day 4

Sunday 4th Jan
I am so grateful for everyone's support and generosity. 

January is always a heavy month for us — a different kind of new beginning. Going out on these daily runs brings moments of joy, however: the quiet, inner smile of getting out there; the smiles and hellos from fellow runners and walkers; and the happy dogs on country lanes. Here’s to new beginnings.

Every donation and words of encouragement help

Wednesday 24th Dec
7 years ago our storyline changed. To mark this time, and with a wish that others find much needed support during what will be some of the most difficult times in their lives, I'd like to take on the challenge of running each day in January and raising much needed funds for bereaved parents.
