Just under 2 years ago, my husband flippantly said anyone can run a marathon......so me being me I ran 10k in 2016, half marathon in 2017 and now 2018,  its time to give the marathon a try. 

Max is the son of Catherine who I went to school with and I'd love it if you could support him and his family......................... 

Max and Alice are twins and were born 6 weeks prematurely. Max had a really difficult start to life; soon after birth Max was at the point of acute renal failure, following a suspected sepsis infection but thankfully he survived. Sadly, he has been left with permanent damage to his brain. Following an MRI scan we were told some of the white matter in his brain (which acts as a messenger for body movements) has been damaged and he more than likely will have restricted movements, difficulties with coordination and balance, and a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Being faced with life-changing complications was incredibly traumatic for us as a family. We still don't know what lies ahead and whether Max will eventually be able to walk but we want to give him the best possible chance we can.
