Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Graham, my wonderful dad died at the young age of 35 when I was just 14.

He had been a renal dialysis patient for nine years and had endured thirteen operations in that time, including two failed kidney transplants.

I will be almost 46 years old when I run this marathon and it's just something I have to do for him, to put something back and to contribute my bit to curing kidney disease so our dads, mums and all members of our families can live for longer, with us.

I am appealing for your help and support and I want to say thank you in advance for every single penny you donate.

Please make the most of every single moment with your loved ones. You will never know just how long you've got.
