Last long run done as next Sunday I’m running 26.2 miles around Berlin! I’m raising money for NETA (North East Trust for Aphasia) which supports adults with language & communication difficulties following a stroke/traumatic brain injury. Grateful for any donations. www.justgiving.com/page/elaine-...
