For those of you who have read my 40 Before 40 List you may remember seeing that one of the things I wanted to achieve was to complete a Disney Run. Well folks this will be happening later this month. Yes this month. I will be heading out to Disneyland Paris and will be taking part in their 10k Disney Run around both of the Disney parks in 2 weeks time.
To say I'm a little nervous would be an understatement as I am in no way physically, or mentally prepared for this challenge, but I do know that I will get through it and I've no doubt that my friend who is doing it with me will keep me going on the day. Plus we'll be in Disney, which is the most magical place on earth, right!
Last month we took part in a 5K Bubble Rush run in aid of a local hospice. It was so much fun but it did make me realise that I am so unfit haha. Why did I think a Disney run would be a good idea when writing my list?
Although the Disney run itself is a stand alone event that many people will partake in for fun, seeing as this will be quite a challenge for me I have decided to take the opportunity to attempt to raise some money for a few charities in the process. This is where you lovely people come in. I have created a Virgin Giving Money sponsorship page that I would be eternally grateful for any donations to raise some money for my chosen charities. Even if it is only a pound, a little goes a long way and both myself and the charities I have chosen would be so thankful.
The charities I have chosen to support are Tommy's The Baby Charity, The Little Princess Trust (for whom I donated my hair too earlier this year) and Farleigh's Hospice (who I ran the 5k Bubble Rush for). I'm sure you would agree they are all very deserving charities and I really hope I can do them all proud by raising as much as I can.
I'll be posting an update after the run at the end of the month so please check back to see how get on. I still can't quite believe I'll be doing it after wanting to take part for so long.
The link again for anyone who would like to donate to my sponsorship page is:
