I've been running 'seriously' for about 2 years now. After testing myself out on a few half-marathons, I'm now entering my first full-blown marathon in Brighton, on 12th April 2015. (It's also my first time running for a charity)

Proper training starts on the 22nd December - just in time for the warm weather.

Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated by both myself and the team at Young Epilepsy - find out more about their work at youngepilepsy.org.uk.

Rest safe in the knowledge that your money is going to a great cause, plus it's you I'll be thinking about around the 25th mile - and if you come to watch, I might give you a sweaty hug at the end.
