The half marathon will be taking place on the 19 October 2014. 

We are currently in August 2014 and I am extremely nervous,  but there is no going back, as I never give up on a challenge. Although I have never ran anywhere before, prior to taking part in the half Marathon, I am determined to complete the race.

I have chosen to raise money for Sickle cell and Thalassemia, as it's something close to my heart. Although I am not a sufferer of either condition, this has affected some of my loved ones for as long as I can remember.  Running this half marathon will enable me to give them and other suffers a chance to live a normal life, in some cases to have the ability to be out of hospital long enough to hold a part time or a full time job.

Please help me achieve this, by helping me reach my goal of £200. Although it may not seem a lot, but I am sure you can agree with me when I say 'every little helps'.
