Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I run a bit...sometimes a lot...but never have I managed to go further than 13.1 miles because at the end of 13.1 miles my legs feel like they may fall off! If I was ever going to run a marathon it needed to be for something more than self-gratification...and it needed to be London.

I chose to run for YMCA because I work for the organisation and not a day goes by that I don't witness my colleagues trying their hardest to support vulnerable children, young people and adults from all walks of life; some days its heartbreaking to witness and some days it's hugely frustrating but bottom line, when no one else is able or willing to help- YMCA do. It's that simple...they are the modern day 'A Team' ! 

The money I raise will be split between my workplace; YMCA Bournemouth and will support one of the many projects we deliver locally. It will also be shared with YMCA England who tirelessly lobby, canvass and push as hard as they can to ensure rights for young people do not go unheard in our country and increase opportunities for young people who find themselves most at need.

So, that's my story and why I am going to spend the winter training in the rain, wind, snow, ice, hail...that's got to be worth a pound or two surely?

Thank you :)
