Oliver Hall and Joshua Bates are two wonderful kids who recently lost their lives to Meningitis. Their parents are friends of mine, and seeing the devastation to their lives, even from afar, has been heartbreaking.

Equally, witnessing their strength in coping and rebuilding has been inspirational.

I've never run a marathon before but wanted to do something to raise funds for Meningitis Now in memory of these boys.

I'm running as part of a team at Rightmove, and our collective goal is to raise £13k for Meningitis Now.
