It's ended up being nearly 4 weeks since i last blogged...oh how time flies!!! Since my last post quite a lot has happened and unforuntately it's taken up a huge amount of my time.
My gf's niece was diagnosed with Leukaemia and it came as a huge surprise to everyone - she is a typical 3yr old that gets through life at 100mph on a daily basis, so watching her in hospital with no desire to do anything at all is heartbreaking.
Its been a funny few weeks - how do you explain to a small child that actually the nurses aren't nasty, all the needles, prodding and poking really is essential and that yanking out your cannula isn't the greatest idea - yes it does hurt and yes it does create a blood bath!!
As a family we will fight this disease and battle hard against it! HOWEVER we decided that we wanted to do something more and what better challenge than a half marathon!!
RunTeamFlo is born! All over the hospital was posters for BUPA's Great Birmingham Run on the 19th Oct. Birmingham Children's Hospital is this years charity and we couldn't be happier.
We decided it would be a serious challenge but also a great way to raise money and awareness for Leukaemia!
The team consists of Kelly Sibley, Joanna Drinkhall, Hannah Hicks ( Englands No1,2,3 for womens Tables Tennis) Liz May ( PinkPong extraordinaire ) and me!!
So now the fundraising and training begins...You can sponsor us HERE or txt SIBS88 £5 to 70070. OR www.justgiving.com/RunTeamFlo
Anyway thats enough for now...
