Back in 2015, my friend Carly was killed in a terrorist attack whilst on holiday with her fiance in Tunisia. The British Red Cross helped to bring her and her fiance back home. 

Ever since, I took up running to support and to raise money for the Red Cross. I started with my local parkrun doing 5K's, working my way up to a couple of 10K events and three half marathons too. 

The ultimate aim was to one day run a marathon and tick it off the bucket list. Although not taking place in London this year due to Covid, the Virtual London Marathon has given me the opportunity to run a marathon from my home, in Cheltenham. 

I will be running this marathon in Memory of Carly, so if you are able to, please donate to this charity which is very special to me. Thank you :)
