Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Seeing as I'm hitting the big 3-0 two days after the London Marathon I thought I would take on one of the biggest physical challenges. Although I will get to achieve a goal for myself, the main reason I'm doing this is to raise money for a charity which is so close to my family's heart. Hearing Link have given amazing support to my wonderful dad who suffered from sudden hearing loss a couple of years ago. I have seen the impact hearing loss can have on an individual and wouldn't want to see anyone suffer alone. With a bit more money, Hearing Link can continue to provide amazing support for people like my dad and if that means running 26.2 miles then so be it!No one can be prepared for such a life changing event like hearing loss, but with charities like Hearing Link, things can be a bit more bearable. For me that makes the sore knees, numerous blisters and dragging myself off the sofa in the wind and rain all the more worth while!I'll also be doing the Royal Park Run in preparation which will take place in October.
