This September I am taking part in an Ultra Marathon of 31 miles that includes the small obstacle of going up and down Scafell Pike half way through.

I've decided to use this challenge as an opportunity to fundraise for The Maddi Foundation, a charity close to the heart of a good friend and colleague.

The Maddi Foundation has a commitment to advance research and develop gene therapy for the rare genetic disease, Spastic Paraplegia 15 (SPG15).

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
