Having grown up with a Dad who suffers from Kennedy's disease I have witnessed first hand the debilitating effects it can have on someone's life. 

KD is a relatively unknown disease which causes progressive muscular weakness particularly in the arms and legs. Due to the low public awareness of the disease, there is a lack of funding for research which means that there is no current treatment for people like my Dad. 

This is my first marathon and I will be aiming for a time of under 3H15. Please help to find a cure for this horrible illness by donating. 26 miles is a long long way so your support will really help me cross that finish line!
