When I returned home from shooting Carl and Victoria’s wedding last Saturday, Lou told me her news she had decided to run the Tatton Park 10k to raise money for cancer research, I thought this was great until she then told me it was the following week. Although we are both into our health and fitness, Lou has never run even half a k before, she doesn’t even use our gym’s treadmills!
Sadly I was unable to be there when she did her run as I was shooting a lovely wedding in Anglesey but she had twin sister Claire who also ran the course to support her all the way round. Mum was waiting on the finish line to take them for a celebratory glass of champagne.
I got a text (much earlier than I expected) to say she had completed the 10k and had run the entire course without stopping for a walk. Their time was a very respectable 66 minutes!
I’m so proud of Lou’s ‘crazy’ achievement although she did spend most of Sunday on the couch and is struggling to walk today!
She also managed to raise £157.44 for cancer research in the one week she had to collect sponsors, you can view her sponsor page/donate here
