Hi everyone, and thanks for visiting!

I'm raising money for Quarriers Children and Families Centre in Ruchazie in the East End of Glasgow because I've seen first-hand the amazing work they do.  

Quarriers is a charity that provides support for vulnerable children, adults and families who face extremely challenging circumstances.  They work with families to provide practical and emotional support and help families build resilience to deal with the challenges life brings.

I worked with the Quarriers Ruchazie Dads group during my PhD and was so impressed by the hard work that the staff do and how much the families who use their services benefit from their support, care, humour and warmth.

Running a marathon is a massive challenge for me.  I don't consider myself a runner but a marathon is something I've always wanted to do.  To be able to do it to support an amazing charity at the same time is even better!

PS - If you gift aid it, it gives almost a third extra to the charity at no extra cost to you!
