My mum ran a 5K

Cheryl Thallon, mum, editor, campaigner, author, and founder of Suddenly Publishing and ethical company Viridian Nutrition publishes her first children’s book.

‘My Mum Ran a 5k’ is written from a child’s perspective and it is a life-saving call to action for a trash-eating raccoon family.

“The narrator is 5-year-old Skye, who is desperate to get away from the TV and have fun with mum – but she’s always too tired. One day, a chance comment lifts them off the sofa and down to health and happiness and gold medals!”

‘My Mum Ran a 5K’ is written to help families make a lasting connection between food, movement and long-term health and happiness.

Cheryl reflects: “The drive and desire to write this book came when my husband Shaun and I opened our own business ‘Sheaf Street Health Store’ in Daventry, Northamptonshire. We soon became aware of the need to help families make the connection between food, movement, lifestyle and health and we found that children are incredibly receptive to these key messages and can also help inspire parents to take them onboard also.”
