Ignore the event/cover image, for some reason Just Giving are unable to update it. I'll be running the Virtual London Marathon on April 23rd and then Amsterdam Marathon October 15th, raising vital funds for Tourette's Action UK. You can find more information on their work here

I've been raising money through running events for many years now. The funds are needed now more than ever, especially for such small charities. There's still a real lack of support for people with Tourette's, as well as a lack of understanding and regular misconception. I've lived with it for three decades, which has involved a lot of struggles, but also great opportunities to raise awareness, such as the video below.

Running is proving more difficult than ever, due to several bouts of COVID and worsening Tourette's. The last 6 months in particular have been fairly awful in terms of health. I can't pretend I've trained much but I'm looking forward to crawling around London all day for the virtual marathon. Then I plan to be far more prepared for October's actual marathon in Amsterdam....but as always, Tourette's does tend to get in the way. Despite that I'm excited to keep trying more events. I'd really appreciate anything you can spare to help me keep running and support this great charity. 

Thanks so much.
