I am lucky enough to have secured a place to run this year's marathon.

I've been training hard and boring everyone with my running chat and for that I'm very sorry. It's been a hard slog so far so to help with my motivation I've decided to also raise some money for an amazing small charity that helps provide memorable experiences for families affected by rare genetic disease.

And as they're small, every penny I raise will go straight to helping families rather than admin or overhead costs.

So if you can spare £1 or £100 I'd be very grateful, as will the people your money will help.

See you at the finish line....
