I am running my first marathon (42km/ 26m) on the 29th of August and I am doing it for the charity Scope.

Did you know that there are almost 14 million disabled people in the UK? That’s one in five of us. Life is harder when you’re disabled. You're twice as likely to be unemployed, getting care is a struggle and the cost of living is higher. It’s wrong.

So, I'm fundraising for Scope to help them create a fairer society. Every donation makes a difference, whether a big or small one.

I will be posting weekly updates to document how my training is going so you can be a part of the journey as well!
