My story

I am training for my first marathon and was extremely lucky to secure my place in London through my local running club - Gala Harriers.

It has been a life long ambition to complete a marathon.

I am Raising funds for the final million to build The Margaret Kerr Unit for in-patient specialist palliative care in the Borders
