Wow, what a week!! Despite resting from training to recover from shin splints, the marathon was still very much on my mind. This was the week I held two Christmas Charity Raffles…and what a success!!

With prizes donated from Marks & Spencer, Sun Chemical and BATS Trading, all money raised from the purchase of raffle tickets went directly into my sponsorship and to my chosen charity Sense. We raised a spectacular £515.46 at the BATS Christmas party on Thursday night and a fabulous £308 at Sun Chemical on Friday.

I owe a huge THANK YOU to Mary Wilkinson (BATS) and Elizabeth Vass (Sun Chemical) for all their support throughout these raffles. Additionally, thank you to everyone who supported my raffle and purchased tickets too!!!
