My amazing mother and many others battle with this disease every day. With more funding and research, I see a better quality of life and hope for the future for those suffering from this debilitating disease.

I've only completed one half marathon in my short running career, but am really looking forward to the day, having received a number in next weeks race courtesy of Nick John.

I hope it's a fantastic day for all participants, and would be grateful for any donation to this worthy cause.
