Chancing my arm.......

Post by Esther »

So chancing my arm here......... a few months ago I posted about doing the Womens Mini Marathon for Temple Street Hospital and it is happening in 2 weeks time. I know a few of you said that they would sponsor me at M2M (including Mustard who ate all my food and left before i remembered to ask him - i'll get you Paul) but unfortunately we didn't make it. Any sponsorship would be appreciated and it will be going to a great cause. Hope you can help. :D

I was thinking of them as I watched the rain bucket down here but worth it for a great cause.I might chance a bigger distance later in the year for the same cause.
