You may or may not know I love running (crazy I know!) and I was given the opportunity to run in the London Marathon 2017 by my amazing running club, Lawley Running club, through their ballot! I have previously only ran in 2 half marathons, so this Is my next challenge! I have started my training and plan to run over 500 miles before race day, including taking part in the Wrexham Village Bakery Half Marathon (19th Feb) & Ironbridge Half Marathon (12th March).

This was the perfect opportunity to raise money for an Alzheimer's charity and to help prevent a disease that is Britain's biggest killer.

For the past 5 years my Nan has suffered with Alzheimer's and I know  many others who have been affected by this disease. After asking my Nan, which charity to raise money for, she said Alzheimer's Research, as it is a terrible disease, which she does not want anyone else to have to go through.

Any money raised will go towards helping to prevent this from continuing and to help defeat dementia. For more information on Alzheimer's Research UK visit: www.alzheimersresearchuk.org

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and hopefully helping me in achieving my target fundraising goal!
