Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have taken on the slightly crazy challenge of running the Manchester Marathon with just over a month to go… and without any training thus far! 

I haven’t run properly since late 2021 when I completed the London marathon, and a second Marathon the day after.(maybe that’s what put me off running for pretty much a year afterwards!) But here I am, at the last minute entering a 26.2 mile race again. 

If I’m completely honest about my intentions,  I was booked to perform at a charity event for Brainstrust last year, which unfortunately I had to pull out of. I felt terrible that I had let the charity and organisers of the event down, and given that my cousin Paul who was only 2 years older than me passed away from a brain haemorrhage the same month, I hoped I could somehow help in the future. 

So… here I am. No training up until now, but willing to give it my best shot. I know how hard a marathon is, and it’s certainly not an ideal preparation going into this. But with your support I know it will be worthwhile and will mean so much to the people who benefit from the amazing work Braintrust do. 

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this.
