Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In a moment of what can only be described as utter utter madness, I decided to try and run the first ever Brighton Marathon on the 18th April 2010.

I am running in memory of my cousin, Danny, who passed away at an early age of 19 as a result of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). I’m sure if it wasn’t for Danny, the inspiration and support from some of my friends who are also running and the extra incentive of raising some money for the SUDEP Charity, I would probably back out nearer the time, or even earlier, during the training!!

This is where you come in, please sponsor me to help raise as much money as possible. I understand many of you already donate money to other worthwhile charities but seriously, as Tesco’s would say, every little helps!!!

At this stage I would also like to commit to making a donation to the charity myself – for every 1lb in weight I lose, £1.50 goes into my piggy bank and all this will be donated to SUDEP. So far, I have a donation of £42, and hopefully this will keep increasing :-)

Anyway, I’d better go…training beckons!!

Please dig deep and donate now. I would like to thank you in advance for all your support and I will of course keep you updated on my training progress and result on the day.
