This year will be 5 years since we lost the legend that is Andrew Perkins, all who knew him will know he was such a great guy and had such a fantastic attitude to life. He never let his health issues get him down and was determined to live his life to the max! 

In May I will be running my first ever marathon and thought it would be a great way to raise funds for The Butterfly AVM Charity in his memory. 

One saying he loved was 'If you wanna see the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain' .... I have found myself repeating this mantra on some tough training runs and his ongoing inspiration has certainly spurred me on! 

Any amount small or large is appreciated and will give me extra motivation to push on through!
