Story

Here it is.....THE BIG ONE.....the London Marathon 2017.
This is without a doubt going to be the most difficult thing I have ever attempted (or will attempt again no doubt) but, my goodness it will be worth it.
Any suffering I feel during and after will be a mere fraction of what my beautiful mum and others living with the vile Motor Neurone Disease (ALS) are going through physically every single day.
Being very much built for comfort not speed it could take me a VERY long time to finish but......I will do it. I will not quit and I will not fail.
I simply can't express how honoured I feel to have been chosen to represent our amazing Woking hospice.
Without them and their constant care and support I am 100% sure that Mum would not still be here with us, and now.....we need them more than ever.
I can't find the words to explain how much this means to myself and my beautiful little family but, EVERY single penny raised is so essential and I thank you with my whole heart and being for anything you could spare.
