Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. In April 2025 I ran not one, but TWO marathons. I'd never run a marathon before and only completed my first Half Marathon in March 2025. So this was a REAL CHALLENGE for me.

** UPDATE 27th April ** Adam and I completed the London marathon, going 7 minutes quicker than we did in Brighton. What a fantastic occasion, so many memories and great things to see.... and we overtook Joe Wicks!!

** UPDATE 6th April ** Adam and I completed our first marathon in Brighton. The first half was great fun.... the second half? Less so. Finishing? Brilliant. So now we have the small matter of the London Marathon in three weeks, on Sunday April 27th. Hopefully we will recover in time!

I would love it if you could find the time to read the below and donate to my chosen charity, "Embrace", who provide face-to-face emotional support and counselling in schools to children who’ve witnessed or been victims of crime.

My challenge is nothing compared to the child victims of crime and "Embrace" provide telephone and online emotional support to help young people understand their feelings, rebuild their self confidence and self esteem. They give practical support to help families, whose lives have been devastated by crime, get back on their feet: providing every day essentials from food and clothing vouchers to books, toys, mobile phones and tablets.
