My Story

I'm late setting up my fundraising page , perhaps down to a little bit of belief in myself but here we are 🙂🙂

I have wanted to do this Marathon before I was 30…I’m now 42 and I have my chance. 

I am not fit or by any means and training is definitely a work in progress .. it’s hard, physically and mentally...really hard 🙂

But I have always told all 3 of my children you miss 100% of the chances you don’t take. 

I am running for RNIB, some people know my 19 year old son Jacob went blind over a 6 week period at the end of 2022. It works out that he has a rare genetic condition called Lebers hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON)
I am running to raise funds for the RNIB who will give support to Jacob throughout his adult life. 

I can’t make any difference to Jacobs sight but I can help to ensure both him and others receive support with their lives going forward. 

Physically this is the hardest thing I have done. Mentally…wow mind over matter.

If you are able to I would really appreciate if you donate to my chosen charity (RNIB)as it is close to my heart and every penny really does matter.

If you cannot donate I understand that it is difficult (I run my local food bank so I really am aware of how much of a struggle it is for people at the moment) but instead please add a song to my playlist that will help me on the day that will either make me smile and keep me going whilst I think of you/us/ happy memories or will just motivate me and keep me going. 

thank you in advance Kimberley xxx
