As many of you will know, sadly, Antonia and I lost our little girl, Lorelei in November last year very suddenly. I wanted to set myself a challenge in her name and running the marathon seems the perfect challenge. I’ve never been a runner, but since Lorelei's passing, it has helped me mentally and physically. I want to try and raise as much as possible for an amazing cause, helping children and their families when they need it most.
