Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

People are still very reluctant to admit they have mental health issues and it remains a huge taboo, people just feel embarrassed about it, like it's a weakness. This simply can't continue as it excacerbates the problem. Luke and I have seen this first hand with our mother. Watching her struggle to deal with her inner demons has been nothing short of heart breaking. However, she is now seeking help and beating those demons,  She's starting to stand taller and we couldn't be prouder.

For a long time my brother and I have spoke at length about taking up running and completing a marathon, Frankly it's fallen flat on it's face many times over. Well 2018 is the year that changes, we are focused, driven and determined more than ever, we are planning a steady approach to hitting our goal,  it reduces the risk of injury and ensures we stay fit.

We have been training since the beginning of January, running 4 times a week and slowly but surely we are gaining confidence. We figured that we shouldn't be the only ones to benefit from this by becoming physical specimans!

what better motivation to achieve our goals is to raise money for charity , in homage to our beautiful mother. If she can overcome obstacles, then surely we can overcome a few miles?
