I am running the London Marathon 6 days after Boston Marathon but instead of doing my usual and pushing towards a GFA or PB time I want to do something for charity and make it harder to complete! I turn 40 this year and want to do something challenging while raising money for a subject close to my heart.  

My plan is to run in combat gear carrying a 25kg bergen and run in army boots - yes my feet are going to be real bad and 25kg is not far off half my body weight ha ha..

I never experienced PTSD from my time in the forces and have always been a hard person!! Yet the last 2 years have tested me to the limits and I have been able to appreciate and understand just what it feels like.  

Thank you for your support.  Much love Nikki xxx
