Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have always wanted to train for and run a marathon but never quite managed to dedicate the time and effort to what is a demanding schedule. I took the decision to run the Brighton marathon, as although the London marathon is an exciting event, I wanted my first marathon to be about the run and raising money for my nominated charity. 

I have decided to run for APS Support UK as it is a smaller charity which perhaps doesn't get the mainstream attention of others, but is equally as important as any. I must admit I didn't know much about the condition beforehand but am excited at the thought of raising money for a charity which works hard to benefit those who suffer and try and maintain as 'normal' a life as possible. 

All donations, small or large, will be greatly welcomed and appreciated. I will continue to update on my progress as I approach race day on April 9th, but for now, thank you for visiting my justgiving page and please donate as much as you can for what I believe is a worthwhile cause.
