So the day after running my second Half Marathon im just chillin while the ladies in the group go shopping. These 2 halfs have been hard but worthwhile and i would like to thank everyone that donated to my just giving page. Your money will go towards Pulmonary Fibrosis NI continue it's work with all patients and carers with this awful condition throughout NI.
Yesterday I almost quit as i just didn't feel that i could do it, until at around Mile 7 and again at mile 9 one of the many people cheering everyone on and thanked me for what i was doing as her husband was diagnosed last year with PF. Second time i saw her i stopped and had a quick chat with her about her husband and how he was getting on. This interaction, i think ,helped this lady feel that she was not alone. As i left her i have to say i had a wee cry and it gave me the strength to finish what i started. So thanks again. There is still time to donate so here is the link.
