I moved to London in 2011 and a close family friend, Warwick Hoyle,  encouraged me to join Southgate Hockey Club as a way of settling in to London life more easily. Its now 2015, I still play at Southgate and I have met some of my closest friends.

Warwick was diagnosed with cancer soon after my move to London but despite that he continually looked out for me and took a keen interest in my career as a Southgate hockey player, something I really appreciated.

Sadly, a year ago, Warwick lost his battle with cancer but prior to that I had committed to running the marathon for the Southgate Sport and Leisure Trust, a charity he founded.

I want to raise as much money as I can for SSLT and also Sportability, a charity Warwick was passionate about and SSLT have agreed I can split my funds.

We've all got people who went to extra mile to support us in one way or another and I want to raise money to recognise that and as a tribute to Warwick and all he did for me and Southgate Hockey Club.

Thank you :)
