Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m running the London marathon as part of TEAM HRH with Helen Hathaway and Raine Peake. I also ran the Royal Parks Half marathon in October for MNDA. We are running for Baz (Helen’s husband) who was diagnosed with MND 6 years ago. Charlie and millie, their children, were only 6 & 7 at the time of Baz’s diagnosis. I watch their daily struggles and their attempts to make the best out of the most devastating situation. This is my way of giving back and trying to raise as much money and awareness as possible to fight this horrible disease. I’ve never run further than a half marathon before and I always said I’d never run a marathon. But I changed my mind…. for mnd. I will only put myself through this for mnd I wouldn’t do this for any other charity. This is personal, this is for baz and every person or family impacted by MND. I also feel incredibly honoured to have been given a place by MND as baz, helen, Charlie, millie and daisy 🐶 mean so much to me. 

The places for London cost the charities £1000 each, and therefore I feel a responsibility to raise as much as I possibly can to support their work
