I want too say a massive thank you 🙏 too everyone that has scan my QR code and donated to my London marathon 2027 marathon charity for blind and partially sighted children. I’m hoping to raise £2000 and nearly half way to target. If you would like to donate please scan QR code and will take you to my enthuse donation page.
I would be so so grateful for all help. After beating stomach cancer and heart failure I never thought I would be able to run marathons again but it won’t beat me. If there are any companies that would like to back me I would be so grateful and in return I will promote your company through my social media.
Thank you 🙏 xx

Well look what has arrived my new Minky Portrush Iron Man ironing board covers. Which now incorporates CDE services which help pay for some of my flights to marathons. Badgemaster Ltd that supply my Portrush Iron Man badges and
Samaritans logo and free phone number 116123 and Victa Milton Keynes a charity that is close to my heart having run and raised much needed funds in London marathon 8 previous times.
And we come to something that I have pondered over for a long time I wanted a little bit of Wilma Patton Brolly on my covers so now her name and my name for her, my Giggles in her favourite colour orange.
I hope everyone agrees how beautiful it looks and hope I can do everyone that is on the cover proud in my London marathon 2027.
Minky I am always so great full for you endless kindness and love you show me in helping me raise su***de awareness every time I carry my board and how proud I am doing it.
I attach my QR Code which if you scan will take you to my donation page and if you would like to help me raise my target I would be so grateful.
I also have an extra cover which I’m going to ask for offers to purchase. Remember there are only 7 copies of this cover in the world so it’s very special so I’m open to offers.
Finally thank you to everyone that supported me through the years of trying to help others realise that there is always help at the end of a telephone and no one will judge you instead will listen and offer help.
Portrush Iron Man and Gilard. Xx

Simply amazing.
Thank you all so much that have helped add to my running total. You can donate by pay pal or scan my QR code which takes you straight to my page. Would love to reach £1000 by end of weekend. So if you can donate a few £££& it would mean so much. And please remember September last year i found out I had stomach cancer and heart failure.
Nothing is going to be me. So if you can help let all help hit a mini lime stone £1000
Thank you. 🙏

Ok my lovely friends. I have been given a last minute quiz night next Thursday night due too a cancellation and holding it for my London Marathon charity in April Victa Milton Keynes for blind children.

I would like to thank everyone that attended pub quiz I organised for Victa Milton Keynes
What a brilliant night full of laughs and trying to answer questions. £405 was raised which is amazing. After paying for food and bottles of w**e for winners £370 has been donated to Victa.
This is added to my running total for London Marathon 2027. Of any one would like to help me reach my total I would be so so grateful. You can see me in person or pay pal me or look scan my QR code. Still trying to come to terms I’m going to run London Marathon again after having stomach cancer.
Thank you as always.

As I start my fund raising for London marathon next year I have arranged a pub quiz for the most amazing charity Victa Milton Keynes for blind children. I have run 7 yrs for them and this will be my 8th year.
Would love as many friends to come along. A few beers and super and try answering questions 🙈🙈🤣🤣.
It’s a long road to recovery from heart failure and stomach cancer so a few hours away from it all helps.
Thank you 🙏

Woohoo YES BLOODY YES
After my consultation today with heart failure Dr all is going well.
1st run since September last year when I collapsed in Sydney marathon at 7.5miles.
Set Garmin to run 3 minutes ,walk 1 minute. No records or sprints but I’m so so happy. New York marathon November a long way away but it’s now 14 weeks gradual training. To all my running friends it’s not much but to me it’s more than a miracle.
Only issue is after having stomach cancer and 2/3 of stomach removed there is a lot of movement of organs in tummy 🤢🤢. But I will get used to this. 🙏🙏🙏🌈🌈❤️❤️xx
