My gran was the most incredible person, with an indomitable spirit. She was quite simply a one off!! She passed away in November 2015, aged 100 following a stroke. I have always wanted to do something in her memory, and to raise money for the Stroke Association.

I have always to run a marathon, however because of past health issues, I have come to accept that running a marathon might not be possible. And then a chance comment from a work colleague planted a seed that, I could walk a marathon!! I have always loved walking, and I know my grandmother did too .In 2016 I quit sugar, and lost a lot of weight, and was after a new challenge. I decided a walking a marathon in 2017 was the perfect challenge! I'm a little nervous, but also really excited about this new challenge!!
