After being overwhelmed by everyone's generosity when I ran the Edinburgh Half, I've decided to go the whole hog and run the London Marathon. I will again be raising money for Mesothelioma UK as they were a huge support to my parents, right from my Dad's diagnosis in November 2009 up to his passing in October 2011.

Mesothelioma is a particularly aggressive type of lung cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, which my Dad was diagnosed with during a routine medical. Mesothelioma UK are dedicated to offering support and advice for those affected by the disease, and provide a much needed source of information and comfort. 

I'll be aiming to make it round in one piece, the time will come second! Please be as generous as you can, as Mesothelioma UK is a fantastic charity. Thank you!
