Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Not many people have heard of Marfan Syndrome because it's pretty rare. To fill you in, it's a connective tissue disorder affecting the eyes, skeleton and heart, and my cousin Susana is one of 18,000 people in the UK with the condition.

Susie is quite possibly the the strongest and bravest person I know, so if the research and support of The Marfan Trust provides better treatment for patients like her in the long and short term, then I'm a big fan!

This is where you and I come in. This winter, I have pledged to run five 10k races in aid of The Marfan Trust - Trick or Treat London in Richmond Park, the Brooks Brighton 10k and the Royal Parks Winter Race Series. I have set a modest fundraising target of £250 which I would love to meet (and surpass), but I can only do this with your help! Please donate what you can - no amount is too big or small!
