Story

I love running and it has been on my bucket list for ages to run a European marathon the year I turn 50 and that year is finally here , 2025 !

I have a place to run the Amsterdam Marathon in October and of course if I can raise some money along the way for the Alzheimer's Society that will be amazing. As my friends and family will know my lovely Mum , Monica and her siblings Molly and Alan all suffered from this awful disease. So I will be running to remember them but also to celebrate my Mum , without her I would not be who I am today and thanks to my Dad too , he has always been a great supporter of all my running .

Also a big thank you to Simon, Evie and Freya for all their support and the many dogs who have been joining me on training runs .

Anything you can spare will be gratefully put towards helping people with Alzheimer disease - thank you gorgeous people x
