In April last year we tragically lost my brother, Ian, as some of you reading this may already know.

In his memory, I have decided to take on the biggest challenge I’ve ever done, along with my friend Kate, to complete the Manchester Half Marathon on Sunday 18th May. I’d like to raise as much money as possible for this incredible charity, who help and support so many people in the UK who are struggling with their mental health.

Our training is well underway, running 3 times a week with longer runs at weekends which is a shock to the system for someone who usually only runs a 5k once a week, but we’re on track and confident!

I know he’ll be watching and be my biggest supporter on the day ♥️

Any donation big or small is massively appreciated.

Thanks so much for reading.
