My dad ran his first London Marathon just two months after I was born, since then he’s run marathons in London, Paris, Dublin, Berlin and New York, 15 in total. He’s always been happy running on his own, but for some reason over the last few years he’s been keen for some company. 

I was lucky enough to get in on a special ballot draw and so it looks like we will be running together. I have chosen to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. It’s a great cause and I really believe in what they do. My dad has run for them in the past and the support he received on the day was incredible.

So yeah, donate what you can and wish me all of the luck (I very well may need it).
