We've all seen just how much the Syrian people are suffering, with no end to the conflict in sight. That's why I want raise money for the Red Cross while I run Brighton Marathon. Any donation you can afford will make a difference.

Your donations will also motivate me. I'm terrified about running 26.2 miles after a year of being injured and not running much. The more you donate, the harder I'm going to train to make sure I get across the finish line.

Looking for another reason to donate? As those of you who sponsored me for my first half marathon will remember, that the more I raise, the more embarrassing, sweaty, beetroot-faced, exhausted post-run pictures I will share.
