In March 2019, I will be taking on the challenge of running the London Landmarks Half Marathon and raising money for Tommy's, the baby charity, to help fund research into the causes and prevention of miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth.

And you're running it?
At the beginning of 2018 I was physically in the worst shape I have ever been, but I hesitantly took part in a Couch to 5 K course at work and found out that I actually enjoyed running. I've ran some 10k's, 10 mile races, and now can't believe I'm going to run a half marathon.

Why Tommy's?
After 5 years of trying, Emma and myself were lucky enough to welcome our beautiful daughter Amara to the world in September 2017. She came about after several courses of IVF and along with that a lot of tears and false hopes along the way.

With that in mind I cannot imagine what it would be like to actually get pregnant and not end up with a child. It happens to so many people though, in fact 1 in 4 parents will have to go through the heartbreak of losing a child during pregnancy or birth, so I think you'll agree that fundraising for Tommy's is a good cause.

Please give what you can, even a couple of quid. Your support will make a massive difference and really help me to make it to that finish line!

Thank you so much
