Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Steph and I are heading off to Paris at the beginning of April to take part in the Paris Marathon and to raise as much money as we can for the British Red Cross. 

In partnership with the Coop they are working to understand and tackle loneliness, something that can affects people of all ages and backgrounds.  It can lead to a sense of despair, and emotional and mental health problems such as depression and anxiety.  In fact, it's reported to be twice as bad for our health as obesity.

I know running a marathon isn't going to change the world but every little helps and if I can reach (or better still exceed) my goal, then all the blisters and the black toe nails (I know, its gross) will be worth it!!!!
