On Sunday 21st May 2017, me and my husband Stewart took part in a 5km Inflatable Obstacle Race at Wolverhampton Race Course. This was a run over 12 obstacles and was done in memory of my daughter – Danielle Rowe, who suddenly lost her life to sudden cardiac death in May 2016 at the age of 24. Danielle is the stepdaughter of Stewart, who supported me during the race by physically getting me over a couple of obstacles and with his words of encouragement.

In preparation for this event, we went out running 3 times a week for a month, to build up our fitness ready for the big day. On the day it was warm but breezy – perfect conditions and after 48 minutes we’d finished. It was great fun for a great charity.

We raised £600 in sponsorship – thank you to all who contributed.
