I am running the London Marathon in April in memory of my first son, Olly who died at the age of 9 months and 22 days in July 2012.

During his short life Olly spent 3 weeks in St Mary's Intensive Care unit and I saw first hand just how vital the COSMIC charity is to helping the parents and families of sick children.

You can read more about Olly's life here: http://markreckons.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/the-life-of-olly.html

I have never really done any running before so this is a big challenge for me but the cause is a very worthy one and I am honoured to be raising money in Olly's memory for COSMIC.
