As you all know, the London Marathon has been a bit of a thing for me for the last three years, raising money for three different charities. And this year, after not getting a ballot place, I applied to the Alzheimer’s Society for a charity place, as my dad was diagnosed with dementia in 2018.

But it was a no. So after being gutted for a bit, I thought ‘Do you know what, I’m going to run a marathon anyway!'

I would be grateful for any donations that you could give me, in order to raise valuable funds for this charity, which has already given me and my family a lot of support.
