Hey! Welcome to my JustGiving page!

Wow! I must be a little bit bonkers! (Although if you know me, you surely already know that!!…)

London baby! Yep, I’m doing it.. WHY… well… huge personal reasons. 

Wayyy back (21years ago), I met my super wonderful friend Julie whilst doing a year long course in a London College.We lived opposite ends of the country, but were only mere phone calls away.

Tragically, Julie lost her life early last year, leaving behind her beautiful young Daughter.

I am doing this marathon to raise as much awareness of Dyslexia as possible and also, in memory of my dear friend, Julie.

Like many, Julie often talked about how much she struggled at school and how little help she received. Her Dyslexia was not picked up on, or diagnosed until she was in college with us, in her 20’s.

I know at least 3 other people close to me, with similar stories. Although Dyslexia is more widely known and talked about now, there is still a clear lack of understanding and support around it, in schools/colleges and even work places. 

I hope to make difference by doing this. Even if it’s just a tiny bit of difference.

So… THANK YOU.. for whatever support you’re giving me, asking me how my trainings going, some sponsorship, a shoulder to cry on when my training gets tough... anything, thank you for even just reading this, it really does mean the world to me and many others who will hopefully benefit from funds raised from my little mish.. ❤️X
