Thanks to all your love, support and sponsorship I have managed to conquer a challenge I set myself a year ago, and honestly… I never thought I would be able to achieve. 13.1 miles on my own this morning gave me time to think of each and every one of you and the special relationships I am lucky enough to have with you all. Please know that my dear Mum would be so incredibly grateful to you all for encouraging me and backing me all the way. Not to mention what you have collectively raised for The Hospice of St. Francis - just short of £2,500! They couldn’t do what they do without people like you, thank you. I designed the half-marathon route to run from our house, to Mum and Dad’s, incorporating a special stop off at Mum’s peaceful spot. It was at that point that the enormity of what I had achieved became real. And the reality of why I had pushed myself to do it. I could almost hear Mum warning me to be careful as I ran down the roads swerving cars, pushed my heart rate and tripped over my own feet! She was with me every step of the way. Waiting for me, at the end was my wonderful Dad, Pete, Alfie & Millie, without whom I would never had found the motivation to do this and I can’t thank them enough for holding me up and standing by my side during this time. We all share this huge loss in our lives, and we work our way through it together. So now it’s time to hang my trainers up and focus on them all. Thank you, all of you. xxx K8 xxx
