Story



Hi firstly thanks for reading !

I am taking part in The Virgin Money London Marathon on 24th April 2016 in aid of a charity which is close to myself & my familys hearts !

I am raising money for LATCH who support families whose children have been diagnosed with Cancer in Wales, this charity is very close to me and my family's heart, they are an amazing charity who offer much needed financial and emotional support during diagnosis and treatment. 

I have run numerous Half Marathons over the last six years in aid of LATCH & numerous local charitys but this event in particular will be a huge challenge as on the 7th july 2015 i snapped my tibbia and fibia (leg) and required extensive surgery to repair the damage , by the time the run arrives its been only nine months since the worst injury of my life ....

But in life it has learned me to 'NEVER GIVE UP' on anything i put my mind too , this being no different ! I know this is going to be the hardest event / fundraiser i have ever taken part in , but its one im also releshing :-)

LATCH had one entry space for this event and im proud they chosen me to represent themselves and gave me this opportunity to help such an amazing charity !

I cant and I wont give up the opportunity to support LATCH as they are in need of funds to continue all the good work they do and to provide the best possible resources to families, anything you can give will help towards offering children and families support when they need it most.  

Please help out for this amazing cause , thanks for reading once again & thank you for your continued support.
