I am running the London Marathon next year to raise money for Kidneys for Life - which is an amazing charity, very close to mine and my families heart. My Nan had kidney failure which led to her being treated through dialysis.
My Nan and I used to watch the London Marathon every year as a tradition. When I was little I promised I would run it and she could watch. I entered the ballot every year for 6 years, but wasn’t ever lucky enough to get a space.
I promised her that 2020 would be the year no matter what but unfortunately, she passed away before I was able to keep my promise. I'm devastated that she won't be there but I will be running every step for her and I know she will be with me in spirit.
My nan was the strongest, most caring and beautiful woman. I would give anything to have her in my life for longer. I hope by raising money for this brilliant cause we can give other families the opportunity to spend more time with their loved ones.
Any donations, no matter how big or small, will be massively appreciated.
