Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. My good pal and running buddy Lauren and I are running the Chicago Marathon for GIST Support UK.

We have started training and are working hard to ensure we do the cause proud!

Since Tom's mum Gill has been diagnosed with GIST, this rare illness has come on my radar and I really wanted to do something to support the charity that can provide support to it's sufferers and raise some awareness.  We will not be winning the marathon, but we hope to atleast finish and if we are raising money for the cause it will motiate us greatly!
