Lisa Spann (that will be me then).

Now that I am committed to doing this, my blog is to document the training and fundraising as it goes over the next 299 days! To start with a little bit about me (very little).

Who am I?

Recently my boss called me a 'middle aged cheerleader', closely followed by a question asking if I was OK with being called middle aged. Of course I am as that is exactly what I am. I am 47 and will be 48 1/2 by the time I do this charity trek so no spring chicken let's be honest. And yes that 1/2 is important to me!

Married and a mum to a 24 year old. I am a fan of American TV Box Sets, NASCAR and concerts. I love live music and a big fan of Guns n' Roses and Depeche Mode. I also love to read especially books on East Germany, no idea why but I love anything to do with Germany.

My life

I work, I love to work and as such I work a lot. I am in at 6.15am and leave at 5.30pm at the earliest. Why, because I love working.

Other than work I do manage to get to the gym twice a week but other than that not one for exercise to be honest.
