Thanks for taking the time to visit my new JustGiving page.    

The main aim in my fundraising this year is to provide funds for Brain & Spine helplines.    All activities this year will be in memory of our lovely friend Sam who was suddenly taken from us in January this year.  

I hadn't known her for very long - our first meeting was at the Brighton Color Run in September through my friend Nik.  She became an amazing friend through Twitter and Facebook and helped Dani at college where she was a drama teacher.   She has made a lasting impression on us and we have some great memories of time we spent together, including a very early morning start at the Brooks Brighton 10k, chatting over coffee and a bacon butty waiting for marshalling duties. 

My first event for this year is going to be a cycling Sportive on 18th May - 33 miles around Sussex.   I'm also doing Brighton Color Run with Nik, Michelle & Dani - which we are doing in Sam's memory.  Hopefully I will be able to get out again on the bike and take part in some more cycling events later in the year too, but for now donations will be greatly received.
