I am running the Great Birmingham half marathon on the 15th October 2017 for pennyappeal in aid of building orphan homes for children who need support in these difficult times. I am doing this in loving memory of aylan kurdi who passed away in September 2015 along with his family  when they were looking for a better future away from their war torn home land of Syria. Aylan would have been the same age as my son now which is why this tragedy is even more personal to myself. I wasn't able to help him or his family but made a promise to help any families who are in need around any part of the world in the future.

I hated the Coventry half marathon it was so tough and I'm not looking forward to this one but it's in my home town so let's go :) #bham
