On 10th May, I will be running the Leeds Half Marathon and using the opportunity to raise money for a fantastic charity - Maggies - for very special reasons.

(Don’t get me wrong, I like a challenge but I am by no means a runner)

Over the past year, three of the closest people in my life have been affected by cancer, and it has had a huge effect on their lives. I am proud of you all.❤️

Maggies provides calming, homely centres within the grounds of hospitals all over the UK, where patients, friends and family can go to receive support. They help people deal with the emotions they experience throughout their journey, and their services are free to all.

The charity was nominated at work and immediately knew that this is something I want to support.

I would be grateful if you could donate to the charity to support them to expand and improve services.
