This October, Alex Black, will run almost double the distance that other participants of the Standard Chartered Jersey Marathon, raising money for the charity that supports adults with learning disabilities.

On 5th October Alex, who is Les Amis Facilities Manager, will start his Miles 4 Smiles challenge with thousands of others by running the Jersey Marathon. However, once he crosses the finish line at the Weighbridge, he’ll carry on with a route that’ll pass all Les Amis’ residential homes until his race finishes after 50 miles with a lap of the running track at FB Fields! 👏

If you are looking for a unique gift for a special friend, I have written a few different poems and shaped them into hearts, wine or cocktail glasses - or you can add a photo / clip art if you prefer - pm me and I will create something you will both love - Karen :)

BECAUSE YOU CAN… 🌻
To anyone who didn’t get the results they hoped for in their ‘A’s or ‘GCSE’s’…
Neither did I.
In fact, I never even took ‘A’ Levels because my school told me I’d be wasting my time, so I left school at 16.
Since then, I’ve taught (literally) thousands of music students and singers and theatre students, after going back to Music College in my thirties.
I’ve trained other teachers to keep that good work going.
I’ve written a unique music programme for babies to 6 year olds who can read and write music by the time they’re 6.
My students have raised more than £150,000 for local charities.
And I’ve just retired from teaching, but I’m not done yet.
SO… if you’re reading this and you aren’t a straight ‘A’ student… be something else brilliant.
Because your unique gift is in you, waiting for you to find it.
Because we’re all different and special.
BECAUSE YOU CAN.
🙌💞
