Hello there,

As many of you already know my best friend of over 20 years suddenly passed away just before Christmas, leaving behind a heartbroken family, so many friends and most importantly an amazingly brave 9 year old son.

Tanya was just turning 40 only days before her passing, she had her whole life ahead of her and had made so many plans for the future, She was such a caring, loving and loyal friend who will sadly be missed by all that knew her.

Im dealing with Tanyas loss on a daily basis which has been incredibly difficult, and I’m not entirely sure that’ll ever change, which is why myself and my friend Sophie want to turn it into something positive and attempt to run the Corsham 10k in memory of our beautiful friend.

I have set up this page because I wanted to raise money to go towards a trust fund for her 9 year old son.

This trust fund will be something he will only have access to once he turns the age of 21.

Nothing will ever take away the pain of growing up without his mum but hopefully this will make his young adult life a little easier.

The fundraising could help towards a deposit for a house, a car or even student fees.

If there was ever a time I could think to help in memory of a friend it would be this, if you could spare a few pennies and would like to donate to support our Corsham 10k fundraiser then that would be so appreciated.

As many of you know running is something that I’m not used to, this is going to be very challenging for me but I’m absolutely determined to cross that finish line, even if the sun is going down.

If you’re free on the day please come down and cheer us on at the side lines.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, this run means the world to me just as my friend Tanya did. ❤️
