Story

So it's taken a little while for me to be able to write this... but here goes. I lost my Mum on the 1st November last year and it has been, without doubt, the hardest period of my life. 

A way to channel all of my emotions and block everything out has been to get back out running. I ran the London Marathon 7 years ago and it was a lifetime goal of mine. When I crossed the finish line I vowed "NEVER AGAIN!" But what better reason to break that promise than to raise a bit of money for a charity that helped and supported my Mum during her illness.

Here is a link to the MWUK website if you would like to check them out and see all the fantastic work they do: https://www.wmuk.org.uk/

Thank you for visiting my page and if you feel you can donate then I would be extremely grateful.

Lots of love,
Matt
