I've ran it twice before in 2014 (when mum said I wasn't allowed to do it again, as my tracker stopped after 22 miles and she feared the worse!) then in 2016 (when she said it was one of her proudest moments), since mum passed away, I've wanted to complete this run
again to raise awareness and funds for the fantastic charity she started, back in 2009.

Running helps with a lot of things, fitness, self-esteem, inspiring
others, but most importantly it helps the mind. Even before mum passed away, I'd always completed runs, in memory of someone very close to my heart, and while you're running it really helps to clarify a lot of things. My running shirt is a mixture of some of the running shirts I've worn in the past.

I'm looking forward to the run, when I'll take the time; while running, to look back fondly at the great times mum and I had, and the massive impact she had on our family and so many other people’s lives.
