The Edinburgh Marathon 2018 will be my first bash at completing a marathon. 

I am running it in aid of Venture Trust who do invaluable work with people from a range of backgrounds who have faced challenging circumstances and are looking to create positive change in their lives. VT works with them so that they can themselves gain skills, stability and confidence to succeed for the rest of their lives. Central to their approach are personal development journeys into the Scottish wilderness which brings something very special to the work VT do. 

As my mum has worked for VT for the past few years, I have heard many of the stories of the positive impact that VT has on people's lives. I'd be over the moon to reach my target (and the finish line). It all adds up to make the difference, so please do consider a wee donation!
