My story
Thank you for taking the time to read this and hopefully for donating.
On April 29th this year I will be attempting to complete the Milton Keynes Marathon in under 3 hours 30 minutes. Ok, it isn't world record pace, but for an amateur like me I will be pushing myself to the limit.
I have been training hard since October last year and at the moment feel like I am on course to do it!!
My reasons for running the Marathon in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust are simple:
- As a young teenager, I suffered from Hodgkins Disease now known as Hodgkins Lymphoma, which is a fairly common type of cancer.
- The Teenage Cancer Trust provides specialist treatment for young people, many who are in the same position as I was, if not worse, to help them through life changing experiences such as this
- Early in January this year, I lost my Grandad to cancer, a great man, who I know is willing me on
- Lastly, I love running and the thought of pushing myself to my physical limit intrigues me!!! I am not just going to finish, I am going to finish in the fastest time possible
Keep Up to Date
I do regular blogs and videos letting you know how my training is going and updating you on the fundraising targets. These can all be viewed at www.recklesstimes.co.uk
I am living proof that the Teenage Cancer Trust and other charities like them do great things for young people, any support you can give would be greatly appreciated

Teenage Cancer Trust
Charity Registration No. 1062559
Every day in the UK, six teenagers are diagnosed with cancer. At Teenage Cancer Trust, we understand that cancer doesn’t stop these teenagers being teenagers. We know that young people have a much better chance if they are treated by teenage cancers experts, in an environment tailored to their needs. So we have created specialist units that aren’t like ordinary cancer wards. Everything about them has been designed to give teenagers the very best chance of a positive outcome. And we want every young person with cancer in this country to have that chance.
