I am running the Manchester Marathon on Sunday 3rd April for Derian House Children's Hospice in honour of of my brother Zack Siddiq.

As many of you may know my brother Zack passed away on Christmas Day 2018 at the age of 21. Derian House was a place he absolutely loved visiting and made many happy memories therefore is close to myself and my family’s hearts.

Derian House support families from across Lancashire, South Cumbria and Greater Manchester who have a child diagnosed with a life limiting or life threatening condition. The care they provide is free for families, but services cost over £5 million to run every year with only 12 per cent of funding coming from the government.
