Dear Family , friends and business colleagues,

 

I am running the London Marathon in six weeks , I never thought i'd hear myself say that, but it is true .

I have been training very hard and hope to do the 26 miles in less than four hours.

I am raising money for the Huntingdon's Disease Assocation.

My Father & Uncle were diagnosed with Huntingdon's and has been living with the truly horrible symptoms of the disease for over ten years now.

Our family has been seriously affected by the disease on so many levels and we have been assisted by the Huntingdon's Disease Association, who have been a huge suppport.

You may not of heard of the Disease, which has no known cure. It is a progressive disorder of the central nervous system which leads to a gradual mental & physical deterioation .

I am also raising money so those who have dedicated their careers to the study of HD can continue their incredible work to find a cure.

My Mother & Brother & I are very touched by the notes and donations that have come in from old family friends.

I recently completed a half marathon in two hours and could not move for a week , so i am of to thailand with the Children to get a tan.

 

 

Thank you very much.
