Hi everyone
So I was diagnosed with copd at the beginning of June 2021 and although I'm still trying to absorb it all I had a thought I need to do things whilst I still can! After some research I found this challenge and feel really excited and motivated to do it. My Brother and my Dad will both be running with me (they're both runners) gaining extra sponsorship and to give me the support I'll need.
I have entered via The big fun run and have asked to run for BLF charity, although I'm feeling extremely impatient waiting to find out if I'll be accepted to run for them, they have until 28th July to make a decision π€
I'm aiming to raise at least Β£500 for the charity (plus my Brother's & Dad's sponsor money) not only is this allowing me to improve my lung health/motivation/mental health it's also raising awareness which can only be a good thing.
Just wanted to share with you all as I'm feeling proud and determined not to let the diagnosis get on top of me πͺ I was full of doom and gloom before this on Saturday night, but now I've started walking to get strength to complete this challenge π
