Originally these 2 marathons (Manchester and London) were planned for April 2020, but are now finally rescheduled for October 2021 one week apart. After a couple of surgeries late in 2020, all training was put on hold. Coming into March 2021 I have started to try and get into some kind of shape. These marathons were originally part of Ironman triathlon training, but now after having withdrawn from this race due to the rehab needs after surgery, they will be run because of my love for a challenge and to raise much needed funds.

Having worked in Forensic mental health services for the past 20 years, and having used Charitable funds to improve the lives of those patients, I have decided to raise funds for this worthy cause.

Brighterway is the charity for Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust, the local community and mental health provider. They provide that extra bit of support for projects that go above and beyond NHS funding.
