Story

"A Marathon is an event where everyone is equal and ordinary at the start but a legend at the finish" The London Marathon is always an incredible event that creates everyday hero's in the fight against Mitochondrial Disease. 

I have run London once before raising money for a cause that affected my child. Ever since I met Caroline I have been inspired by her courage and bravery as a warrior for her daughter and I am delighted to help this special cause raising funds to fight a very cruel disease.

10 million people in the UK suffer from diseases in which mitochondrial dysfunction is believed to be involved, while every day in the UK a baby is born who will develop mitochondrial disease. The disease is debilitating, there is no cure and lives are cut far too short. The Lily Foundation's ultimate aim is to one day find a cure for mito. As the UK's leading charity dedicated to fighting mitochondrial disease, our mission is to support people whose lives are affected by the condition, raise awareness and fund research into its prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Please support my London 2021 challenge and together we will make a difference.
