The Brain Research Trust is one of many that helped my best friend, Billy Cudmore, in his inspiring battle against illness. 

I asked Bill for his permission to run and was happy when he agreed. However, when I applied for the marathon, I didn't envisage I'd run after Billy had passed away! Now it feels like it was meant to be this way and I'm nervous and excited to do it in his honour.

Billy was 24 when he passed away... That's far too young.

So please donate anything that you can... I appreciate every penny!

Thank you x
