It took little thought as to which charity I would want to  run my first marathon in support of. Thinking of the work that Beat do on a daily basis and the incredible individuals that they are supporting is enough of a motivation for me to push myself around 42kms of Bagpipe country on foot at a speed that will hopefully be marginally quicker than South Africa’s World Wide Web! Throughout my growing up years and over the past number of years  of working with individuals suffering from eating disorders I have been increasingly  aware of the injustice of this life threatening and life changing mental health illnes. So many loved ones are suffering in increasing numbers. They deserve all the support, compassion and understanding from others along their recovery journey and treatment to make the changes. Join me in supporting those in recovery.
