Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the London Marathon in memory of my beautiful mum-in-law, Marian.

Marian was a strong independent woman who, along with her husband Norman, raised 5 children. Norman sadly passed away when their youngest child was only in her teens but Marian kept the family together and was always very protective of all of them, even when they were all in adulthood. Marian adored her family and thrived on family gatherings; having all her children and grandchildren with her gave her pure joy!

Sadly Marian passed away in 2016 following the late prognosis of Pancreatic Cancer. Throughout the last few months of her life, Sue Ryder nurses were on call 24/7 and gave such amazing support to us all.They ensured Marian's dignity remained intact throughout, kept her totally pain free, gave us ongoing advice and support and took Marian's wishes into consideration with every decision they made about her care. We were all in awe of their commitment to making sure Marian's last few weeks were as comfortable as possible, right to the end. We can't thank them enough.

It is for this reason that I want to give something back. Like most end of life care, Sue Ryder runs 100% on charity donations. A sad reality I know but it is what it is and without your generosity our precious family members wouldn't be cared for as well as we'd want and expect. I'm committed to training really hard through the winter months and getting across the finish line in this prestigious event so please do your bit and donate as much as you can - I promise I won't let you, or Sue Ryder down!
