As most of you may know I have a younger brother called Joe who has a condition called downs syndrome. (There are pictures of him in photos) If you don't know much about downs syndrome it's caused by a genetic disorder, and results in the person being born with learning difficulties and look physicaly different.

I have decided to run a half marathon with my cousin Mike Carlton to raise some money for The Downs Syndrome Association. Which gives educational, medical and physical support to people with this condition. The half marathon is in Coniston and covers a distance of 14 miles. We will be running the race on the 9th of April. I know times are hard and many of you may already give money to charities in other ways, but I would really appreciate even just a small small donation. Please don't think a small donation wouldn't make much of a difference it really really does! Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
