If you're going to run you need a goal.. apparently!
Well here goes..
I will be running the Run Reigate Half Marathon on 21st September 2014 (a mere 100+ days as I write this) and in doing so will be attempting to raise money for Stripey Stork.
Anyone who has children wants the best for them, and having tried to give them everything that they need doesn't then want to throw those things away with all the memories that they now contain so will normally pass them onto family and friends, but what happens when you don't know anyone in need?
That is where Stripey Stork comes in, taking those 'things' and giving them to families who aren't able to give their children everything that they deserve due to circumstances beyond their control.
This 'extended family' support to strangers was something that my mum both received and gave while I was young and I am therefore running Reigate in her memory knowing that she would have been an ardent supporter.
Please give generously because 13.1 miles looks like a pretty long way on the map!
