After a very late entry into the London Marathon, I will be training for 12 weeks before taking part in one of the world's greatest running events. 

After competing as a short distance and long distance runner for several years, I became injured and was taken out of my running vest and spikes for over 6 years. After countless frustrating physio, hospital, consultant and surgeon appointments as well as working up my strength at the gym, a year and a half ago I was finally able to start running again. 

The London Marathon has been a distant bucket list dream for many years and I’m so incredibly happy (and nervous) that I’ve been given the opportunity so soon to give one of the greatest marathons in the world a go.

I will be raising money for the British Heart Foundation who fund vital and life-saving research into heart and circulatory diseases which
kill 1 in 4 people in the UK every year. Heart disease touches all of us in
some way – from heart attacks to diabetes, strokes to dementia, high blood pressure to heart failure and cardiac arrests. 

I’m so proud to be running with the red heart on my chest and would be incredibly grateful for any donations towards my run and this truly fantastic cause.
