I am not a natural runner. A number of different events started me running and I can't believe I stuck at it. 

But... it turns out I love running. I've fought my body over the years with obesity and medical conditions. Putting one foot in front of the other is something I can do and I can keep doing it, sometimes quite quickly!

I love half-marathons, so I've decided to do a marathon, its bound to be twice as much fun as a half-marathon, right?!? I have a training plan and I'm doing it, mostly, but I'm still fighting my body and the biggest impact on my training is my Ulcerative Colitis. I won't give you the details, but here they are if you want them https://www.crohnsandcolitis.org.uk/about-inflammatory-bowel-disease/ulcerative-colitis It is making training tricky. But, I will not give in or give up, its not my style. 

So, if you feel you can sponsor me, so they find better treatments quicker, please do. If you are thinking of taking up running, but are nervous read this little bit more about me and my running https://blog.parkrun.com/uk/2018/08/20/dont-let-anything-stop-you/
