Don't even ask about the photo... I'm working on it.
So, how did I get here? I followed my friend Michelle around Wendover and the local area as she did her marathon training; I wimped out of bits of it with an injury to my ribs following a 90 min trampolining session, during which I forgot my age. I never fully committed to the event and had many good reasons about why it is a daft idea. Then today the sun was shining and I was feeling good and Michelle caught me in a moment of weakness and I signed up! I'm still in shock...
I have chosen to run for a local charity - Milton Keynes YMCA. They support young people who are homeless and unemployed by finding them accommodation and employment and helping them to increase their sense of wellbeing, confidence and motivation levels. Many are dealing with and recovering from substance misuse, depression, anxiety, anger management issues and other mental health conditions, often trauma related.
I think that the YMCA is doing great work and I am glad to be running for them:-)
Thank you to all of you who chose to support Michelle and through our mid life crisis by making a donation:-)
