I've chosen to run the OTMOOR CHALLENGE and TOUGH MUDDER in order to raise as much money as possible for Brain Tumour Research in memory of Taylan Rawlinson who passed away in August 2009.

Through the setting up of Taylan's Project, Taylan's parents have worked extremely hard to support the work of Brain Tumour Research, and I would love to help by contributing as much as I can. 

Although I only knew Taylan for a short time, it is safe to say he was a gorgeous, funny little boy who could put a smile on anyone's face.

Please help me to support the charity's amazing work by donating whatever you can in order to try and minimise the number of lives affected in the future.

Below is a link to Taylan's Project website which provides you with Taylan's story along with information on all the work they've done so far.

Thank you xxx

Along with Luke Smith, I successfully completed the Otmoor Challenge half marathon on June 7th 2014 in just under 3 hours (my first half marathon). Following an offer to work in Walt Disney World with an unexpectedly early start date, I have had to push back my Tough Mudder race date to 2015. Therefore any money I have collected so far will be sent off now, and I will continue with my fundraising when I return. In the meantime, I will continue to fundraise for the British Lung Foundation as myself, Alison, Becky and Holly Johnson will be braving a sponsored skydive on October 4th before I leave in memory of my uncle Melvin who we lost earlier this year to lung-related illness. Thank you to everyone who has sponsored and supported us in all our efforts so far, it really does mean a lot and is greatly appreciated xxx.
