    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Well done Spud, you have done something very brave that will benefit your whole family.....so proud of you:T

    Would have liked more Lou, but came home with just over £2000

    Glad to hear that your OH has recovered and is back to normal. Hope he doesnt get caught up in the troubles this time.
