Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I will be running in the 2018 London Marathon for the Stars Appeal charity at Salisbury District Hospital. This gives me to say a massive 'thank you' on behalf of my wife and I for all the amazing services the charity supports, including the Chaplaincy and the Benson Suite.

Last year we lost our daughter Lilia at 16 weeks and earlier this year we lost our son Joseph at 20 weeks. Both of our babies were born asleep in the Benson Suite. The suite gives parents in our situation a private and dignified space away from the main labour ward. On both of these heartbreaking occasions we also received incredible support from the chaplaincy who gave our babies beautiful services.

Both the Benson suite and the chaplaincy are funded by the Stars Appeal charity.

The Stars Appeal have launched a £1.5 million fundraising campaign to buy an additional MRI Scanner at Salisbury hospital which will make a huge difference to the speed and quality of vital diagnosing to local patients. Please help me raise money to contribute to this worthy cause and help to say thank you for all the Stars Appeal do for the local community. Every penny you donate will help to keep the legs running all the way to 26.2 miles!
