As a parent the most special thing in my life are my kids. It is difficult to imagine anything worse than losing one of them.

An amazing family, close to our hearts, lost their beautiful brave little girl last April. Evie Kate was diagnosed with Peroxisomal Biogenesis Disorder (PBD) shortly after birth, a very rare and life limiting genetic disease. Evie was 2 1/2 years old. 

For Evie and her family, Martin House has been, and continues to be, a place of comfort, understanding and support. Therefore, I have decided to try and raise some funds and awareness of the great support that Martin House provides for families and children who are affected by life-limiting illnesses. 

Please have a look at the incredible work they do:

Along with my best friend Scott (who is running for another very worthwhile cause close to his heart) we are embarking on 3 marathons, culminating in Belfast at the start of May. Any support you care to offer would be greatly appreciated - including attendance at any of these events. 

The first marathon is in Ferrara (Italy) on the 19th March, then Manchester on the 2nd April  and finally in Belfast on the 1st May.

Appreciate your support.
