Joanne's half marathon and my 10k

Update posted by Nicola Whitworth

Thank you so much to Joanne Fortune who ran a half marathon last weekend to help raise funds towards a portable hoist for Joseph. Such a great achievement and thank you to everyone who sponsored her. She raised a whopping £540 in total for him by doing this.

It's my turn tomorrow with the Poynton 10k! Thanks to everyone's support Joseph collected his adapted bike today and can't wait to get out on it.

I pledged at the beginning that I would do 10k and at the time that seemed near to impossible. It's taken a while to get there but it seems apt that I will be running it the same weekend we collected his bike, which has been paid for by generous donations from friends, family and even some people we don't know. We are very grateful to you all and I am running this race not just for Joseph, but for all of you who have helped and supported with raising funds for equipment for him.

Feeling nervous now! X
