The R.E.D Mile

29/12/2019

My top nine, generated and organised by the app, and yet the total sits perfectly in the middle as if it was meant to be.

I started this challenge in 2018 and completed it in 2019, so it was a huge part of my life this year.

I still can't quite believe i did it, we did it. Probably my greatest achievement and so proud of raising that much for
Thank you CWCUK for my Christmas card 🎄🎅

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone.
Let's see what 2020 brings. I hope some of you have been inspired to run, or challenge yourself to something new. Good luck 😘

THE FINAL TOTAL RAISED IS... £7039.73

Wow wow wow, I did it. My original goal was £1200, £100 each month, which I thought would be a fantastic achievement, I never dreamt I would get this kind of support and reach over £7k for Children with Cancer UK

So here is my final thank you to everyone involved, the likes and shares, the many miles people have run, including 12 days of Xmas and mile a day in May, my wonderful friend Kate for the logo design and ongoing support, Quay Design and One Stop Printers for the t-shirts and posters, Alverton Manner for hosting a wonderful charity ball, Amanda for singing, Emil for the photography, Daphne for running the auction and to all those who donated and bid, the boys from Cyderfex for playing an awesome gig, Lee and Lizzie for the delicious cakes, Johnny Hodge sports massage for fixing me, Michaela and Margo for running the marathon with me, to ALL my friends who supported me every single day in so many ways, my incredible sister who ran and supported me from start to finish, my beautiful Mum for running walking sharing supporting donating and her speech that brought me to tears, then of course my biggest thank you is for my boyfriend Darren who put up with so much and kept me going throughout the entire challenge, I probably would have given up without him.###

So all I have left to say is good luck to CWCUK and all those brave children fighting cancer, I hope this helps a child ring their bell, this was all for you 😘

Less than a week to go until the red mile fundraising page officially closes and the final total will be announced. So any last minute donations will be more than welcome. I know there are a couple of people that want to donate, just not got round to it, so here is your final reminder. Roll on Sunday when I will know how much I/we have raised. I might even go for a little run to celebrate, anyone wanna join me?

Here are a few of my faves from the final mile. What an incredible turnout, over 50 people, thank you everyone.
It's been 5 days, and so far every day I've thought something along the lines of "when am I gonna fit my run in today?" "Oh bu**er I've still not done my run" "running is gonna hurt today".....followed by...."WOOHOO I JUST REMEMBERED, I DON'T HAVE TO RUN, I DID IT"
