Carys' London Marathon 2027 for Caudwell Children I’ve lost 10 stone, started running and now I’m running the London Marathon for Caudwell Children.

Sorry for radio silence for the last couple of weeks. I was hit by the most disgusting virus. I swear it was Covid but the swab was negative so who knows. I am panicking that I haven’t ran for four weeks, and in all honesty, haven’t done much for the last three. I’m back to work/uni now so will be taking it easy on the running front this week and then trying to get back to it. There’s only two weeks before the 9 locks challenge so I am adjusting my expectations 😭 Finish lines not finish times! I welcome any tips and advice on recuperating and building my running back up as quickly as possible.

Love this advice! And to add, please don’t expect or demand every child say “trick or treat” or respond to questions before being given a treat. Not all kids interact in the same way. For some, just being out, in costume, and knocking on a door is a huge thing. Kids show up however they can ❤️🥰

Embrace the spirit of inclusion this Halloween! 👻

While Halloween can be a treat for some, for many autistic and neurodivergent children it can also be an overwhelming experience. 💜

🍬 Some children might not say "Trick or Treat" - they could be non-speaking.
🍬 Some children might not be wearing a costume - they might have sensory sensitivities.
🍬 Some children might not knock on your door - they might find new people and places scary.

Every child is different, and that's okay! 😊 Will you be celebrating a neurodivergent-friendly Halloween?

Thank you to whoever has just bought square 56. It’s showing as an anonymous donation on JustGiving, so if you let me know who you are, I can update the grid to your name. Not many squares left now, so let me know if you want one.

Did you know SWEARING can help you tolerate PAIN????

(Check the comments for uncensored photos!)

With that in mind, these NSFW signs are scientifically proven to help you get a PB.*

Do you need some motivation to get up that hill? Or know a friend in need of some tough love? Not sure whether to whisper gentle words of encouragement or scream obscenities at them?

DO BOTH!!!

Introducing Tough Love, a collection of personalised, sweary motivational prints by me, The Mother Runner.

“Motivational profanity for people with places to be and hills to conquer”.

Each print is personalised with a name of your choice, printed on high-quality, thick, acid-free paper, and mounted and framed in a 30 × 30 cm black wooden frame.

Perhaps best situated in the downstairs loo, she shed or the man cave, they’ll remind your loved one to put their best foot forward whilst giving them a cheeky bit of tough love.

Perfect for the runner in your life, or anyone facing a challenge who needs a hug and a kick up the bum.

THE IMPORTANT BITS

£18 per personalised, mounted and framed print.

Free collection from St John’s, Worcester, or £3.90 UK postage via Evri.

🎄 Order by 30th November for the best chance of Christmas delivery.

Orders will be printed and posted each weekend, so please bear with me. I’m not Amazon. 🙈

HOW TO ORDER

Just message me with which print you’d like and the name you’d like on it.

Payment is via PayPal to:

[email protected]

Please include a note with your payment confirming your chosen phrase and the name you’d like printed. Double-check the spelling! Once it’s printed, there’s no going back. 🤣

If you’re having your order posted, please also send me your full delivery address.

All proceeds after production and postage costs will go towards my London Marathon fundraising for Caudwell Children*.

*The PB claim is a lie. However, there is an interesting study (Stephens et al., 2009) showing that people tolerated pain for longer whilst repeating swear words. So, close enough.

** These naughty products are independently created and are not connected with or endorsed by Caudwell Children, who are a very classy charity working with children. Nor, for that matter, are they endorsed by my mum, who is a classy lady.

After a super quick start, things have slowed down a bit. I’m keen to draw this as soon as possible and get someone £100 in their bank account, whilst raising loads of money for this worthy cause. I’m so grateful for you all buying squares but have another favour to ask - please can you share this? With your friends and family, on Facebook, in your WhatsApp groups? I’m so grateful for your support! Thank you!
To buy a square, send £5 per square to my JustGiving page:

Oh, and to enter for free, you can send a video of yourself saying “I’m a silly sausage”. Sending me videos grants me permission to share on this page 😜

Tomorrow I’m launching my latest fundraising effort for Caudwell Children. It’s a little bit naughty and definitely NSFW. Needless to say, my mum told me off.

I can’t wait to show you the Tough Love Collection, for when you’re not sure whether someone needs encouragement or a verbal kicking.

Follow my page so you can be the first to be offended. 🤣
