On my 60th birthday in 2018 my cousins granddaughter Lillyanna was born. After a very tricky start she was eventually diagnosed with mitochondrial disease, a life limiting condition! She is the most delightful little girl and has exceeded all our hopes and dreams but the battle is still on. So I am running the 2023 Royal Parks Half Marathon and raising money for an amazing charity, The Lily Foundation who support her and her amazing Mum and Dad, Rebecca and Kyle. It’s pure coïncidence that it’s called after her, it’s actually named after the founders little girl who lost her life to mitochondrial disease. Please support me by donating to this brilliant cause.
