Story

On Sun 20th September I will be taking part in the BUPA Great North Run 2009 in memory of our precious baby Lola. I have never run before (other than to the local shop), and have only just began training for the BIG run, six weeks after having our third beautiful daughter Rubi-Lola. As u can imagine this is a MASSIVE physical challenge for me...but I am so focused on doing it in our little girl's memory. I need all the support possible so if you would like to sponsor me & help me in reaching the finish line it would be greatly appreciated!!! In anticipation of your kindness Thankyou! Charlottex

Sun 20th Sept- THE BIG DAY!

19th November 2009
Uh oh, the big day so quickly arrived! Didnt sleep a wink, bit scared,nervous,but also excited, & most of all cant wait to run in memory of our little girl, today is all about Lola 4 me! Which makes me happy. What an amazing fantastic emotional experience i enjoyed every single minute, the atmosphere was unreal, as was the support from the runners and spectators. I did not feel for one second like i was runnin alone. The last mile was fantastic, wat a buzz. Felt so emotional at the finish line- 2hr 12mins, how i did it in that time i do not know, but felt the affects later 4 sure. cant wait 4 the great north run 2010 anyone fancy it ? Let me know!. Thanks so much 4 all my sponsors & all the support! love Lotty & little angel Lola x

My running vest

16th August 2009
16/8/09- Got my running vest back yesterday from 'HOODY MARVELLOUS'in Clitheroe. I really wanted a pic of little Lola on it- know this will so inspire me on the day. They did a fantastic job, i'm thrilled with it, my bright eyed girl is pictured on both sides of the vest, with 'LOLA'S MUMMY' also on both sides, can't wait to wear it, i love it. They very kindly sponsored the vest, which was a lovely gesture!.

30/6/09- Well, Ive been out running (if you could call it that, ha) just a couple of times so far, & i was absolutely KNACKERED, can't even manage 15 minutes without stopping to almost collapse, god knows how i will manage a half marathon!!. However I will not give in, im sure it will become easier??. The next day- am aching like mad & not even done out yet, must be so unfit- got a long way to go if im to come 1st!!
