MY STORY SO FAR..............

My name is Sue and I started running 2 and a half years ago, on a couch to 5K programme - and then just kept going!   My first race was the Adidas 5K womens challenge in Hyde park 2 years ago - and then I was persuaded to do a 10K race....and then a half marathon! 

Last year, I lost my mum after she had a stroke.  I'm not new to the devastation that a stroke can inflict not only on the victim, but also people around - my dad suffered a massive stroke when in his early 60's and I was a teenager.  I answered a plea in our local paper to help at a new series of fund-raising runs organised by The Stroke Association and I decided that I'd set myself the challenge of running the London Marathon for the Stroke Association.  And so here I am, hoping to raise loads of money and run the race of my life.
