On June 23rd 2018, Georgie, Ash and myself are running a half marathon to raise money for ALD Life in memory of our uncle Jonathan King. Our uncle sadly passed away at the end of last year after a courageous fight with a rare genetic disease, adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). It was absolutely heartbreaking to see him decline. He was one of the kindest, most generous people and is missed every day. 

As one of the longest surviving victims of this disease we thought it was only right to mark his memory with something that would pay tribute to his determination and strength. Something that would be a real challenge. A half marathon up a mountain, the highest peak in South Wales,  in twilight hours seemed rather fitting. 

Set in the Brecon Beacons, the course will take us through forests, over streams, past waterfalls and up mountains. It's certainly no ordinary half marathon. It even includes part of the 'Fan Dance' which is an infamous run taken on by potential members of British Special Forces as part of their selection process. So if you could spare a few pennies, for what we're sure will be a somewhat painful experience, please do! 

All money will be donated to ALD Life which is a patient support group and registered charity for patients and families with ALD. The charity is not only providing practical support, but also advancing medical research to find better treatments. 

Thank you,

Georgie, Ash & Katie
