Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I am running my first ever half marathon in memory of Helen Robertson. Helen was the cousin of a very close friend of mine, and she tragically died last August whilst giving birth to her daughter Niamh.

Helen’s family are raising money in her memory through a number of events, and I want to do my part by running the GNR and raising as much money as possible in her memory. The funds are supporting two charities- one is Hearing Dogs for Deaf People which was a charity close to Helen’s heart, and the other is AFE (Amniotic Fluid Embolism) Foundation which raises awareness of the complication Helen suffered during labour.

As well as a huge personal achievement for me, this is a really worthy cause. It’s an honour to be able to run for a cause where donations will really make a difference, so please donate what you can!
