After a few years of injuries, inactivity and an increasing waistline, I realised I needed a fitness goal. So here I am with a place in the London Marathon...

The event is a fantastic opportunity to raise money for charity, so I'm supporting MOVE, a Leicestershire based charity who support children and young people living with cancer. They achieve this through encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle both during and after treatment. 

• Tailored 1:1 exercise programs and group workshops lead by experienced Level 4 cancer rehab instructors.
• Nutrition guidance to increase energy and encourage healthy choices that are enjoyable to eat.
• Provide guidance and motivational support to boost confidence, self-esteem, embrace strength and bring positive change.

Raising £1300 will make a huge difference to a young person's life, providing an entire year of 1:1 support to give back control through a truly testing phase. Every donation counts, let's see how close we can get to this target.
