Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Why I'm doing this. My wife, Alex, works as a speech and language therapist and as part of her job works with a number of people with PSP. It's a progressive and terminal brain disease; it's difficult to diagnose and there is no treatment and no cure. The PSPA rely totally on voluntary donations and I hope the amount I raise can make a difference. This is why I'm running for them.

The reason I'm running at all is less clear. I try not to think about that while I'm training. Perhaps it's because I'm 31 and I feel I ought to be able to run 13 miles.
