My story

For 2011 I am running the Reading Half Marathon and Virgin London Marathon for Daisy's Dream.

Training is going really well, fingers crossed it keeps going well. My most recent run saw me run 17 miles in 2hrs 38 minutes. I have two weeks until the Reading Half Marathon and 6 weeks until the big scary one!!!.

Daisy’s Dream supports children and their families both facing and following bereavement throughout Berkshire and the surrounding areas.

The death of a significant person in a child’s life can be devastating and difficult to understand.

They offer support and advice to families, professionals and anyone concerned about a grieving child.

Daisy's Dream is a local charity and carrys out incredibly important work to support children and their families dealing with what life throws at us at a very early age. I know that if anything was to happen to me or my wife, I would want to know that there was support there for my boys.

This is a small charity that needs all of the support that it can get to keep doing the good work that it does, please support me and Daisy's Dream in 2011.
