Let me introduce.....

My niece, Jasmine!!!
Jasmine is 6, and has autism, and for that reason, my sister and I are running the great North run this year, for her! Jasmine was diagnosed with autism when she was 2, and since that time, has benefitted greatly from visits to an autistic charity local to us in Morpeth, called the Toby Henderson Trust. They've provided supportive therapy sessions for jasmine, and have been on hand for advice whenever my sister and her husband have needed it, so we decided it would be nice to try and give something back to them, to say thankyou for there help with Jasmines needs.
Over the next four months, in the run up to the race, I will be auctioning a few items to raise a little money on the Crafty threads and Yarns forum, and would be grateful for any support, remembering that support isn't just in the form of money, but in words of encouragement when training gets tough, and the goal seems beyond my reach!!!!!!!
I've been training for a couple of months , but the hard train begins now I ran 5km this morning in just under 40 minutes, which I was pleased with, but realise I have a long way to go if I am to manage to sustain that effort over 13 miles
Wish me luck
