Well done to Chrissie Wellington for supporting the Jane Tomlinson appeal last month www.janetomlinsonappeal.com with her “Run with Chrissie 5K” in Leeds. It was a great afternoon and she left everybody inspired in so many ways.

Chrissie is a patron of the appeal and said “I am extremely proud and honoured to accept the invitation to be a patron of the Jane Tomlinson Appeal. Jane’s unwavering determination, strength courage and selflessness in the face of adversity is an inspiration to each and every one of us. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to play a part in making sure that Jane’s memory and legacy lives in the great work of the Appeal”.

Watch out for more runs in 2012.
