In April 2024, I am privileged to be running London Marathon for the North Wales Cancer Appeal.

This iconic event, will take me through a tough 4 month training plan (with Roxy, the red-fox lab, who features heavily in my training updates and is much faster and fitter than me). Come rain or shine I will be hitting the pavement, with a personal challenge of a sub 4:30hr finish and eventually 26 miles around London...why put myself through this I hear you ask...

Well, firstly, why not, I get such a natural high from run challenges and seeing my 5 year old little boy's proud face when I cross the finish line, hopefully instilling in him healthy fitness habits, is reason enough. Secondly, i get to support chritires like NWCA. Cancer effects us all, including my family, I wish it didn't, but thats life, and centres like the NWCA provide vital support for families and patients when they need it most. So here I am, trying to fundraise as much as possible for this fantastic charity!

Please help me raise much needed funds for the NWCA, so they can keep helping the member of our local community when they most need it.
