I'm taking part in the London Marathon 2017, running 26.2 miles to raise money for Whizz-Kidz. I’m inspired by the work that Whizz-Kidz do providing disabled children and young people with vital mobility equipment, opportunities to meet and have fun, and training to help them gain skills and look forward to a brighter future.

You can help Whizz-Kidz achieve their goal so that disabled children can live a life full of friendship and hope for an independent future. Just like any other kid’s.

As well as helping the fantastic charity I am also doing it for selfish reasons. I want to get fitter, healthier and tick something of my bucket list. I am not a natural runner - built to watch rather than participate, but with support from everyone I hope to change this and raise money for a deserving charity along the way.
