First run logged!

We accidentally drove to the wrong side of Mount Etna today, and on the way back stopped on a wooded path of volcanic sand.  It started to rain along the walk, so I figured what better time for my first 1km of the challenge?!  My son said we were like the tortoise and the hare….he got a stitch from sprinting and I gently jogged past to the finish line at our rental car.

About GOSH Charity

Childhood is special. It should be a time of joy, wonder, curiosity and fun. Of making friends, making mistakes, and growing into the adults we become. But it’s also fragile, and sometimes all too brief.

That’s why Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity raises funds to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. For the children from all over the UK who are treated by Great Ormond Street Hospital every day, for children with rare or complex illnesses everywhere, for this generation and all those to come. Because no childhood should be lost to serious illness.

And with every kilometre I run, and every pound raised, we’ll be helping to give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible.

Please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.
