In a matter of weeks I will be running the London Marathon for the first time.

It’s taken a lot of training in the Surrey Hills and I’m hoping to get round in one piece!

I’m raising money for an incredible charity called LAP research helping to fight liver, pancreas and biliary disease, so please do donate if you can as every bit helps.
