ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Mother’s Love by Carla Heath.

 

This is a personal experience of the journey of the author life growing up. 

I felt I needed to share my story for others who may have encountered a troubled childhood and give them inspiration and encouragement that you can turn things around and overcome difficulties to thrive when you are an adult and accomplish your own personal aspirations and goals.

This book reaches out to wide audience who enjoy real life stories. It is in my own words. It is a story that is raw and is written to give the reader a real sense of what it was like growing up in a home environment where neglect and abuse was part of daily life. The book is very honest account of life’s struggles and triumph's from childhood to adulthood.

 

About the book: 

Claire Louise Hearn’s heartfelt story “Mother’s Love” reveals her turbulent upbringing with teenage parents, marked by constant upheaval. Frequent moves and parental quarrels intensified her desire for the security she found with her grandparents.
As she entered adolescence, Claire’s rebellion grew, fuelled by her mother’s neglect. Despite the lack of parental guidance, she personified unwavering perseverance in her desire for a bright future and a dignified life.

North Wales group on the run at HMP Berwyn.

By Don Hale
North Wales group on the run at HMP Berwyn. Special report courtesy of event organiser Dave Munday. donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2026 So today (Saturday 6th June 2026) was a special day for this group as some of us went to HMP Berwyn for a parkrun.  This moves some of us on to club 19 and Club 18 in the North Wales parkrun group, and has also given us a chance to make an even stronger connection with the most difficult to get an entry to parkrun in the North Wales region. The Governor at the prison has said there could be another opportunity to do this unusual and extraordinary parkrun again in October of this year, I will keep in touch with them and post up details nearer the time. So a few weeks ago I sent in all the information of the runners as everyone had to be fully security checked before we arrived and today we had to all go through checks and identification before been allowed in the prison. The only items we were allowed were the clothes we were running in, car keys, se...

Great results for Welsh Master Ifan Lloyd at the BMAF championships Welsh Master athlete Ifan Lloyd recalls a successful hot day on the track at the BMAF championships. *My thanks to Ifan for sharing his unique experiences.   donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2026 coastandcountry.blog   A day out at the BMAF (British Masters) 1 mile and 10km track championships yesterday (30th May) at Horspath Athletics Track near Oxford.  With temperatures creeping to the high 20’s it was always going to be a challenge to run the one-mile race mid-morning and the 10km just two hours later! Extremely pleased to wind gold and finish first in the men 65-69 age category in both races especially as these were my first outdoor track races since 2021! Finish time of 5mins 36sec in the 1 mile and 39min 52s in the 10km. It wasn’t a day for heroically fast times due to the short gap between the races, and the heat. Ran the 10km at a progressive pace having started steadily and gradually got faster!  ...
