Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Running a marathon is something I said I would never do and  never had time to do, however with small nudges and encouragement from friends and family, I've decided to undertake the challenge.  Training is well underway with lots of rainy training runs complete already, and the Alloa half marathon next week presents my first challenge, with 9 weeks training afterwards.

The Crohns and Colitis charity does excellent work for diseases that have affected different members of my family for years, so it is very close to me.  People do not realise how debilitating the disease can be and how it can massively affect your overall well being and daily quality of life. 

It was brought more into the public eye in recent years with the publicity surrounding Darren Fletcher, then Scotland captain and Manchester Utd player.  He had the financial banking and best on hand medical support, but not everyone has this available to them, hence the reason we need to raise money for these charities.

Thank you for your support.
