Well it's taken 3 months to recover from a funny right leg and now that things are better, I have entered a couple of local races. Firstly, on the 6th September a new 10km trail race called the Sidbury Three Peaks. Then the following Sunday 13th September, the Exeter City Community Trust Autumn Half Marathon at Exeter. Wish me luck!

I recently received a very nice letter from the Devon Air Ambulance congratulating me for raising £4,984.21 for the cause. This is far more than I had ever imagined at the outset and I am so grateful to everyone for the generous donations and support throughout the campaign. Thank you all so much.

The real reward - a family reception at Mark Masons' Hall hosted by Air Ambulance UK and with Kelly and Lottie from DAA and fellow runner Cal and family. I think I look pretty zonked out here. Can't think why! 😂
