I am excited to say that I am taking part in next years London Marathon, for St Joseph's Hospice. 

Sadly my grandad passed away February this year in St Joseph's Hospice after an unexpected illness. As I was an athlete, my grandad came to watch me compete all over the country in various competitions. He was always there cheering and supporting me throughout. Therefore, running the marathon next year for my grandad will motivate me, knowing he will be proud. It is  also a way of saying thank you to St Joseph's for their amazing support.  

St Joseph’s Hospice opened in Hackney in 1905, and since then has been caring for and supporting people affected by serious illness in eight London boroughs. ''We work to improve the quality of life of more than 2,100 patients with life-limiting conditions each year, helping them live life to the full, to the very last. We have to raise £19,000 each day to keep our vital services running and available to the 2.2 million people in our diverse community, so every penny raised for our hospice is really important, and very much appreciated.''

Please, please donate for such an amazing cause.

Let the training begin!
