Back at the start of 2019, my friend Murray and I promised each other that we would attempt to complete the Edinburgh Half Marathon in 2020. As many of you will know, Murray sadly passed away at the end of November. He was a best friend, flatmate, drinking chum, budget pun provider and all the rest. I felt it was only right to keep that promise and run the full Marathon in his memory.

I will be raising money for Teenage Cancer Trust, an organisation devoted to helping young people living with cancer. From his earlier illness in his late teens, right up until his final days, TCT were able to provide a remarkable amount of support for him in every way possible.
