I’m running the London Marathon 2019 raising money for Home-Start, a leading family support charity in the UK.

Home-Start volunteers help families with young children deal with the challenges they face. They support parents as they learn to cope, improve their confidence and build better lives for their children.

Families struggling with post-natal depression, isolation, physical health problems, bereavement and many other issues receive the support of a volunteer who will spend around two hours a week in a family’s home supporting them in the ways they need.

Some of the money raised will go to Hengoed Harriers the local running club supporting my training journey to enable me to be ready to toe the start line of the London Marathon 2019 and Nelson U15/16s who I have been helping with fitness and drills, who would benefit from additional funds for kit and training aids.
