I got involved with the Brathay trust in 2015 when I ran the London marathon for them. I injured myself 8 weeks before the London marathon 2016. I was gutted but my place was rolled over to 2017. So here we are, praying and willing my body to get me to the start line.

Monies raised will help purchase a new minibus, kayaks and canoes and support Brathay’s work with sexually exploited young people, young people leaving care, and vulnerable children and young adults in the Furness area.There are lots of children who are not as lucky as my 2 step sons. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
