Several years ago my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. Nine months ago I moved home to become a full time carer. As such it seems only fitting that the charity work I am doing should raise money to help people like my mum. I also work with a charity group called "Our Doctor Who Monsters", a group of children's entertainers who specialise in Doctor Who themed exhibits and shows. They are raising money for Alzheimer's Research UK this year also.

I only started running in January, but decided early on I wanted to have a goal in mind. Since then I have improved my distances greatly and am meeting or exceeding the targets on my suggested training programme. This will be a major milestone for me in terms of my own physical fitness and improving my confidence and self esteem in light of my own mental health struggles.

Here's the route for the 13.5K on the GMFR:
