When my son Luca was born on 1 April 2010 I was overwhelmed by the fact he was in good health.

To show my appreciation for Luca being healthy I decided to run the Berlin Marathon for the Children's Trust - Tadworth. 

Being a parent now I can just about imagine the pain of parents with disabled children. By supprting The Trust I can help to them to ensure that education, care and therapy are provided to their children.

My aim is two-fold to run a sub 4 hour marathon - my previous best marathon time is 4h06 AND to raise £1000 for The Children's Trust. I recently started my training and will keep you updated on my progress.

So I'll do the miles, you help me with the smiles. Every penny counts.

Please join me on this journey.
