I am not a natural sporty person but have always liked to keep fit and running does not require much skill. Over the years I have managed to achieve runs beyond my expectations. I work as a Macmillan nurse and the patients, families and carers I meet are amazing in the way they cope and their bravery so I have decided to challenge myself to something which will test me physically and mentally in memory of and tribute to them and my Mum. I have joined a running club and the people there have given me the confidence and support that I need to attempt to complete my first marathon.
