I've been lucky enough to get a charity place with Scottish Huntington's Association (SHA) for the London Marathon 2026.

I have run one marathon before - over a decade ago, and at the time swore never again but here we go!

I'm raising money for SHA because they provide incredible, much needed support to people and families dealing with the disease. Huntington's is a hereditary neurological disease which at present there is no cure for.

Recent advances in research are very promising and provide lots of hope for the future but funding will be key to make expensive treatments accessible to more people.

I promise to bore you with updates of my long, cold, wet winter runs in Glasgow in preparation for the big day on 26th April 2026.

Thanks for reading, bring it on 💪
