UPDATE! 25 Oct 2010

It is with great sadness that I write this update. On the 25th October 2010 my little sister sadly passed away at the age of 31. She had bravely battled MND for 11 years. She had never given up and had achieved to much even after developing MND, winning the Open University award for achievement to gaining a degree. She will be greatly missed and will for ever be in our thoughts. Love you sis :D

Well where to start, it was all originally done as I was carry to much weight and wanted to loose it. Which I am sure it most peoples story begins, however after loosing the weight I actually started to enjoy running outside. Joined some forums (BCTTT & Runners World), there inspiration and helpfullness has helped me a lot. Now I am also swimming and commuting a couple of times a week to work on my bike! Now since 2011 I accomplished more than I thought I ever would or could. From 5k runs to an Ironman in 2014 and The Outlaw in 2015. In 2016 I am going down a different route, I will be trying Ultra's as you can see from my events I have already entered 3 so far. Now I thought wait a minute I need to have one more motivation and that people is my sister Emma. Since the age of 20 she was very unfortunate and developed MND (Motor Neurone Disease), she is now 31 years of Age. Her health has deteriatated over the years and we nearly lost her last year. My mum had to give up her work and become a full time carer for my sister and my dad takes over the duties when he comes home from work. All the races I do will be in aid of my sister and all money raised will be donated to MND to help raise awareness and research in the disease. Thanks for all your help and enjoy my training blog,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIN

Well today was Erin's birthday so I had the day off of training. Yesterday we took her to indoor bowls which she really liked. It was her that asked us to take her. Then I got tickets for Yvonne and Erin to go see Mr Peabody and Sherman at the cinema. While I looked after Rebecca. Went to a great wee place for Lunch called Zucca (Soup and Sandwich). Quick dinner and then back out to take Erin to her Ice Skating Lessons.

All in all a very busy Sunday. Today though brought birthday presents and a dinner of her choice. She chose to go to DiMaggio's. I know why she wanted to go there it has a soft play area to keep her amused.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIN (7 years old)
