On the 12 October 2014 I will be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon through Central London. I was invited to run the half marathon in aid of a previous teacher of mine at Chigwell School that unfortunately lost his battle with cancer recently.

Those of you that know me well will know that this a cause very close to my heart as I lost one of my best friends to the same illness on 25th May 2012. Eren Pars was/continues to be a huge inspiration to my life. His strength and high spirits during the last 18 months of his life are something that will stick with me forever. 

I've been wanting to take part in an event to raise money for the cause for a while and I am hoping that this will be the first of many events that I take part in. 

I have set myself a target to run the 13.1 mile course in under 1 hour 45 minutes which I know will take some serious training over the next 12 weeks. However, I would greatly appreciate any donation or support to help me achieve my fundraising target.  

Thank you!
