My brother, Freddie, suffers from severe, atopic eczema. This is an extremely challenging and distressing condition - both physically and psychologically. 

I am running the London Marathon for the National Eczema Society to help increase awareness of this much misunderstood disease. 

The stoicism that Freddie demonstrates as he copes with the continual discomfort he suffers, and the daily struggles his eczema presents, is unbelievable. The least I can do is stagger around 26 miles...!!

My aim is to raise £1,500 to help the NES continue to provide vital support for eczema sufferers, and to carry out important research into treatments for this debilitating condition.

I am extremely grateful for every donation - thank you x
