After completing my first marathon with Lucinda in Brighton 2024, I vowed never to do it again. It was 85% fantastic and 15% absolute hell on earth and then some. But we did it and crossed the line at 4 hours 23 mins. It might be a bit ambitious to drop 23 mins over the 24 miles, however this time I'm going to give it a shot at the 4 hour mark. 😎

What's changed? After the initial body shock, the sense of achievement filtered through and so far that day has only been surpassed by my wedding day. I wanted to do Edinburgh, my hometown, so that I could do it and spend the day with my family.

Alzheimer's Scotland aim to make sure that nobody faces dementia alone. They provide support and information to people with dementia, their carers and families, they campaign for the rights of people with dementia and fund vital dementia research.

Thank you for any donation, no matter how small (or big!!).

Much love and thanks. I can't quite believe I've convinced myself to do it again...
