A decade ago, my father-in-law Chris sadly passed away after battling Cancer. He worked for the ICR for most of his career, so to mark these 10 years without him, I thought it would be wonderful to raise some money for the ICR to honour all the amazing work he and his team did over the years.

I have always wanted to visit Berlin, so running the marathon seemed like the best way to see the whole city!

Firstly thank you for your support. This isn't my first marathon but the start of my training for this one hasn't been ideal. The next few months are going to be hard but I'm following the Chasing Lights 26.2 training plan, which will help me recover and get me to Berlin injury-free. I'm feeling positive and my aim now is to be on that start line raring to go in September.

With your support, I know I'll complete the 26.2 miles. x
