My Spring HUHM

Hope everyone is getting on ok with training? I'm aiming to run on the 28th but have decided to raise money for Alzheimers association while I do it as that was my original plan for before covid! My lovely mother in law has Alzheimers. It has been ages since I did anything involving sponsorship so I was quite nervous but have already reached £60 in first day. I set a £200 target so got a bit of 'promoting' to do!! It also serves for making sure I do it too!!

I had to get some new trainers for going longer distance but can't get to a shop at the moment for gait analysis so I didn't spend loads and settled for some springy mizuno shoes. Hope you're all getting on ok too!

Raising £60 on the first day is brilliant! Good for you and good luck for the 28th 🍀

Aww brilliant CLR! That’s such a great cause. It’s the charity I raised money for when I ran last year’s virtual Bath Half as my mum had dementia. ❤️

Good luck with your training and enjoy your new shoes. 😍

What a lovely idea. A great cause and a great motivator when the going gets tough (which it won't, because you'll have done all the hard work in advance 😊)

Great stuff Cowladyrunning ! I'm also hoping to use my HM to do some fundraising for the hospice that looked after my late brother-in-law and his family a few years ago, but I've not had the promised pack yet so am hanging fire on pleading for sponsorship for now.

Hope you get it soon. It's extra motivation! Amazingly I'm just a few pounds off my £200 target now...social media is great!
