Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2011, I had a brain aneurysm that burst resulting in a subarachnoid hemorrhage (a bleed on the surface of my brain). In the same year I had a slipped disk fixed that I'd been suffering with for 3 years resulting in walking with a walking stick. I have gone from almost dieing, and not being able to walk, to now being absolutely fighting fit. I run because now I can, and I take delight in the fact that my body now works so well thanks to the doctors, nurses, physios and chiropractors (not to mention hard work). I am so very lucky, things could have gone very differently. Whilst having a ballot place in the marathon, I want to support a charity that helps those who aren't as lucky as me and need help following brain and spine injuries.
