Story

So, last year didn't quite go to plan. In the picture you can see I look happy, comfortable and all set to get my London Marathon finishers medal.

However, at mile 20 the story was very different and I passed out due to heat exhaustion and severe dehydration. An extremely scary and unsettling experience for both myself and my family, 16 weeks of dedication and training felt wasted….

However, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger as they say. So, I have deferred my placement to 2015 and I will continue to fund raise for Whizz-Kidz who were incredible in their support throughout.

The new goal, 1000 Competitive Kilometres for Whizz-Kidz, Swim/Bike/Run
