I've always wanted to run the London Marathon and I thought this is the time to do it - it has always been on my bucket list. I'm not particularly looking forward to the milage ahead of me but a long journey always starts with the first step!

The most I have ever run is 10k so this is going to be a real challenge. 

I'm also doing it for an old friend of mine Peter Cox who sadly lost his life to a brain tumour at the age of 24 and for all the people I know who have been through or going through cancer treatment.
