About my charity : Save the Children Save the Children
We're the world's independent children's charity. We're outraged that millions of children are still denied proper healthcare, food, education and protection. We're working flat out to get every child their rights and we're determined to make further, faster changes. How many? How fast? It's up to you.

My personal message:

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page and for those of you who have sponsored me so generously.

I know that Save the Children will be very grateful for whatever sponsorship you feel you can give.

Training was going really well - up to 20 miles and 2 completed half marathons under 2 hours! - but unfortunately I suffered an injury about three weeks ago. I had a scan last week and it has revealed that I have a stress fracture - this will take 6 weeksish to heal. It is therefore highly unlikely that i'll be able to participate in the marathon either by running or by walking - not enough time!

This is not about me - it's about Save the Children - but I am 'gutted' at the moment as you can believe!

So, for those who have sponsored me - thanks - you can rest assured that I did try my best - am still keeping up the fitness just in case I heal at a faster rate than I have been advised! Your messages of support have been truly inspirational!

If you still feel that you would like to make a donation to Save the Children please do - they need it!

Finally - good luck to my running partner Dawn! - Go girl!

Love and best wishes to all

Paula
