Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Royal Parks half marathon in October (which takes in four of London's eight Royal Parks - Hyde Park, Green Park, St James's Park and Kensington Gardens - as well as some of the famous landmarks like Buckingham Palace!). 

My chosen charity is St Joseph's Hospice , who provide bereavement counselling to one of my best friends, Stephanie Illingworth.  Steph lost her soulmate, Ben Ogden, in a tragic plane crash in Nepal on 28 September 2012.  He was just 27. 

Ben was an amazing person, full of ambition, fun and energy.  He succeeded at everything he put his mind to.  As one of Ben's friends wrote: "Ben died as he lived - on his way to the top of the world." 

Needless to say, Ben would have been the perfect person to spur on Steph, Jenny, Kayleigh and myself whilst we all run the half marathon.  We want to make Ben proud and would love you to help by donating to this worthy cause.
