May 2017 will be an amazing month, not only will my daughter become a teenager,(and that is a scary thought) but I will be running 10 marathons in 10 days for the Brathay Trust. This will be no doubt a severe challenge, I have completed ultra-marathons and marathons before, and will be doing plenty more in the build up to the '10in10' event.

I have no fear at the moment, and the thought of getting the infamous slate trophy and 'Aly hugs' is great inspiration. this will be though the greatest endurance challenge that I have ever undertaken, it will no doubt hurt a lot at times. I will draw inspiration and strength from your continued support and generosity. 

I have pledged to raise £3,000 and would love to smash this amount. Please give your support, what ever you can, even if it is just the price of a coffee or a beer. All money goes straight to the Brathay Trust.

Brathay, do amazing work with schools and colleges supporting young people as they grow, develop, learn and achieve. They support young people and families, helping them with any barriers they may face as they find a path into education, training or work.

Along side this they also help veterans reintegrate into civilian life through their Futures for Hero's (F4H) Programme. This is very close to my heart, as an ex-Gunner, I know first hand what a dramatic culture shock leaving the services can have on you.
