On 3rd October 2021, pandemic and knees permitting, I will be running my first full marathon in London.

I will be supporting Cardiomyopathy UK, in memory of my friend, Lindsey Gordon-Thomas.

Lindsey lost his battle with a rare hereditary heart condition on 2nd October 2016, aged 33, leaving behind his wife Kirsty and two children, Marli and Jaxon.

Lindsey was a terrific person. Kind, funny, brave; completely dedicated to his family, and with a smile and laugh that would light up a room.

Cardiomyopathy UK are a fantastic charity who have provided superb support to Lindsey and his family.

All donations, no matter the size are hugely appreciated.
