Having finally convinced myself that it was a good idea to run a marathon that is exactly what I’ll be doing on the 6th October (the day before my 40th Birthday!) down in (hopefully, not too) sunny Bournemouth.

For added motivation I will be running to raise money and awareness for Societi, The UK Foundation for Kawasaki Disease. A cause very close to my heart since our youngest son Albert was diagnosed on a family holiday in Spain just over 2 years ago.

At the time I (along with the majority of the population) had never heard of it...  as the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in the UK that’s something which needs to change.

Please donate whatever you can to help grow awareness and encourage urgent action when treating this increasingly common, serious disease. It really does mean a lot xx
