On April 23rd I will be tackling the London Marathon as the first in what I hope to be a number of challenges. I’ve recently become obsessed with running again forcing myself to get into by ordering far too much kit. Over the coming few months I will be putting myself through a thorough training regime in order to get fit and hopefully run as close to or quicker than a 3 hour 15 minute marathon. I’ve even given up the fags for the very purpose so most of you who know me will know that it’s not going to be easy.

I am absolutely thrilled to be running for The Bevern Trust, a charity dedicated to those with profound disabilities by offering care and the opportunity to get more out of life. The charity provides 24 hour care to eleven residents offering numerous activities from hydrotherapy in the pool to gardening and music therapy. Over the Christmas period residents at The Bevern Trust participated in a number of activities such as going to the Pantomime and the bowling league. 

For The Bevern Trust, a minibus is more than just a set of wheels – it’s the vehicle that helps provide freedom, adventure and opportunity for the eleven profoundly disabled residents of Bevern View.

A wheelchair accessible minibus is a vital resource to enable the Bevern View residents to access essential services and appointments, visit friends and family or go on trips to local attractions and parks.

I’d love you to join with me to help raise funds to provide this amazing resource for Bevern.  You can make a real difference in helping these residents have more from life!

With a final target of £50,000, your support in sponsoring my marathon run will be so valuable.  Thank you!
