I am profoundly lucky to have some amazing friends.

Over the last 10 years of friendship with Suzanne and Pippa I have seen how having a family member diagnosed with a neurological condition can effect both the individual and their family.

Suzanne's mum was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis (MS) before we even met and over the years she has been bravely fighting this savage disease.

Pippa's dad was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) last year. This condition is aggressive and Pippa'a family have given up everything to support him.

Both conditions have no cure and can be diagnosed in anyone at anytime.

In 2017 I will be running the London Marathon, which will be my first marathon. As some of you will know I am a runner, however running a marathon is a whole new ball game! I have somehow managed to bag myself an elite place and I'm aiming to complete the marathon in under 3hrs 20.

Your donations will mean that I can give some much needed money to the MS and MND associations in order to support research as well as care and support for patients and families.

Please give generously 😊

Thank you all
