On Sunday I will hopefully prove a point to myself and a few others !!! I will be taking part in Race for Life 2013 a 5k race ofeither walk/run or stagger .... My aim is to run and walk it !

Having been diagnosed a year ago with 5 slipped discs, and suffering large periods of time where I have not been able o walk above 100 metres without sitting down I am now ready to show myself and others I can rise above it all.... I have lost just over 3 stone in weight since November 2012 and am focused ... I aim hoping to complete the course in under 45 minutes.

I appreciate many of you cannot afford to donate to my sponsorship challenge but there may be some that can ... My just giving page details are

Thankyou to those who have already supported my quest (especially Lesley and Julie)... Look forward to telling you the end result on Sunday afternnon !!

Completed it in a personal best of 47 minutes 50 seconds. Am absolutely shattered now and my back and legs are hurting like hell... my sheer determination to finish in under 50 minutes has taken its toll ...
Thanks to those who sent me messages and sponsorship...it has meant a lot.

And a big thank you to Lesley ... Who since thursday has been a brick and a surrogate mum ...difficult few weeks ahead for me but with Lesley behind me I will beat it ! X

There is no need for thanks that is what friends are for. I'm glad we're friends both on and off the forum. Hang in there x

Well done for completing in a great time.x
