Story

So I have a place in the London Marathon I'm not going to lie A. I'm extremely shocked that I actually have a place because truly the chances are very slim so I realise lots of people actually think I'm lucky and B. I'm extremely scared as in really scared I'm not in anyway shape or form a runner of any kind.... so why did I apply you might ask????
Well on the 9th June 2015 one of my most favourite people in the word received the devastating news that she had 'Motor Neurone Disease' this horrible, awful disease as its stands has no cure and in the fairly short time since her diagnosis my dearest auntie has deteriorated at an incredible rate and is far from the able, women that she once was... this is obviously unbelievably hard for all of us that love her dearly but obviously most of all it's so hard for her and really bloody unfair... so what can I do to help her, sadly really not much at all, but when I watched the Marathon on telly I thought.... I can do that, and I will.... hopefully raise a lot of money for a very deserving charity in the hope that one day there might be a cure for this horrible disease!!!! Anyway please give generously people I'm running a Marathon!!!!!!!!!!!
