On Sunday 2nd October 2022 I will be running the London Marathon for the Brain & Spine Foundation. Running the London Marathon has always been a dream of mine, and I feel so touched I am able to run for this charity and at the same time raise awareness of neurological problems and to raise money to ensure the vital and amazing services Brain & Spine Foundation provides continues to be there for people when they need it most. 

As someone who has always valued their cognitive functions and enjoys sports I can only imagine how hard it would be to lose capabilities in these areas. 

I feel very privileged to be able to combine something I love doing with helping such a deserving cause. Thank you so much for all your kind donations and encouragement. It means so much to me and I am very grateful x

The Brain & Spine Foundation is the only UK-wide charity providing information and support for every one of the over 470 neurological disorders which affect 1 in 6 people in the UK.

Our expert services are there for people at every stage, from first symptoms, diagnosis, treatments and in the long term.

Many people wait for a long time for diagnosis while living with ongoing symptoms and the anxiety of not knowing what the future holds. The Brain & Spine Foundation exists to provide information, answer questions, reduce anxiety and to inform choices.

The charity is entirely funded by voluntary donations from our supporters; we receive no government funding. This year, every amazing Marathon runner pledged to raise £2,500. Collectively, our London Marathon team are aiming to raise £100,000 to ensure we can reach everyone to access help when it's needed most.
