Hello and thank you for visiting my page.

I will be running the London Marathon on Sunday April 23rd 2023  this will be my first marathon and one that is very personal to me. 

I was lucky enough to secure a charity place for Brain Research UK, I will be running in memory of my Nan (Doreen  Aliwell) who we lost in October 2022 very suddenly due to pneumocephalus a very rare brain condition which causes a pocket of air inside the skull which replaced brain fluid, she had emergency surgery was placed on life support but was far too poorly to recover. She has been my inspiration over the last few months with all the training and I know she is cheering me on through it all and I hope to make her proud. 

Brain Research UK is the UKs leading dedicated funder of neurological research. Put simply, we fund vital science in brain research to increase understanding, improve diagnosis and treatment, and work towards the prevention of neurological conditions, to help people who suffer with them live better longer. Our funding is currently focused on the 3 research areas of Brain tumours, Brain and spinal cord injury, and Headache and facial pain. These key areas are where there is a large unmet patient need that is not reflected by current funding. By concentrating our efforts on these three areas, we can have a more significant impact 

I would be more grateful than ever if you could sponsor me to run the marathon, every donation no matter how much would be massively appreciated, I know times are tough and even sharing the page means more than you would believe .

All my love
