So after many years trying to get a place in the London Marathon, I finally have a charity place running on behalf of the British Heart Foundation.

In October 2025 I lost my Mum very unexpectedly. It transpired that she had a heart attack. This was with no known heart issues. This, alongside having only losing my Dad in 2024, turned life upside down.

My brother Gareth, ran in 2025 in memory of Dad. Now it’s my turn, in memory of mum.

I am the sort of person who needs to find a way of turning a truly awful situation into a positive. Fundraising for a charity that is hopefully going to help better understand heart issues is the best way I can think of. (Just sadistically putting myself through a marathon)

I have a target of £3000 which is a lot of money. I will hopefully have some other fundraising events to get towards my target but anything anyone can spare would be very much appreciated.

Prepare for all the running spam!!!

Has anyone seen my trainers???
