Three years after my first marathon I've decided to run another. 

But why would I do such a thing you ask? Why would I put myself through another 26.2 miles of self-inflicted pain. 

Well I'm doing so to raise money for Parkinson's UK - a charity that does brilliant work, both in helping current sufferers and striving to find a cure for a disease that affects around 130,000 people in the UK.

As you may know one of those suffering is my dad, whose life I have seen be slowly destroyed by a condition beyond his control. My dad loved to run and although he won't be able to watch I know he would love for me to do so and I will be giving it my best. 

So I would be incredibly grateful for anyone who would like to help me reach my sponsorship target and hopefully make a small difference to people whose lives are impacted by Parkinson's. 

Much love.
