Story

Update: Unfortunately I was unsuccessful with the London Ballot so I will be running the Manchester marathon in April 2019.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Those of you who know me will know that I hate running. It is however one of those bucket list items and so.... I'm currently entered into the Manchester marathon and also the London ballot so one way or another I will be running a marathon!

Whilst ticking this off my list and desperately hoping I don't embarrass myself; I wanted to use this opportunity to do some good in the name of one of my closest friends - James - who sadly left us far too early. In my mind he was always a role model for hard work and perseverance and I like to think he would have been proud of my decision (that and he'd be laughing at the pain I'm about to put my body through...) His story and memorial page can be found here:

Thank you for any donations and support; feel free to make donations directly to the remembrance fund if you prefer. My current fitness is...poor...so there will be a number of runs leading up to the big day that I will update on as and when they happen. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
