Hi there!

    As people no i am undergoing the crazy idea of running the London Marathon in april, but really cant wait to get down there and under go this great achivement!

    As many people no either from the television or just knowing me i suffered from tourettes syndrome for most of my teen years, it was the hardest time of my life so far, and i understand and feel for people with tourettes and what they go through, so i am proud to say ill be running the marathon for tourettes syndrome association UK. 

  Here is a bit of information on Tourettes Syndrome..

   Tourette Syndrome (TS) is named after Dr. George Gilles de la Tourette, the French neurologist who first reported TS in medical literature in 1885. It is a recognised medical condition, which is often inherited, but we don't yet understand the cause. There are treatments, but there is no cure as with many chronic medical conditions.  It is a very complex condition and can be described - with equal accuracy - as a movement disorder, and neurological condition, or a neuro-psychatric condition. TS affects all aspects of life - education, relationships, employability.
