Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

It has been my personal ambition for many years to run the London Marathon. And having finally been successful in gaining a place in the ballot on the 5th year of trying, the prospect of running 26.2 miles both terrifies and inspires me!

Sadly, my Mum, Pat was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver in 2011 and has recently seemed to spend as much time in hospital as out. She will not recover from her condition.

But hopefully through continued research and medical advances, those suffering from liver problems may in future be offered greater options and chance of success in their treatments to improve their length and/or quality of life. And their families in turn, be given the precious gift of more time with their loved ones.

Which is why I have chosen to try to raise as much money as possible for the British Liver Trust. Therefore I would be very grateful of your help in this. Thank you.
