Story

It has been my dream to run the London marathon for years. Since I first thought of the idea I've managed to kick the habit of smoking, run a few fair few half marathons have completed the 2018 Edinburgh and 2020 London virtual marathons.

Now its time to keep looking forward to the 2021 London marathon!!!

Christian Aid does some great work around the world in some of the worlds poorest areas. They are striving to lift individuals and communities out of poverty in a long term and sustainable way. Some of the cases ive seen and read about, the work christian aid has done is truly amazing and inspires me to raise as much as possible. 

Please donate what you can, every single penny will drive me to complete that 26.2 miles in 2021, all the horrid training runs I'll have to do, especially during those dark rainy winter evenings. I am no athlete! I need all the motivation I can get! Be part of this great cause and let's help those around the world that really need it!
