I am taking part in the 2023 TCS London Marathon to support Crohn's & Colitis UK. I was very lucky and managed to secure a ballot place but I wanted to use this opportunity to raise money for a charity that’s important to me. Plus I need some motivation after a year off running! 

Unfortunately one of my beautiful friends suffers from Crohn’s disease and I know the impact it has on her life (even though most people wouldn’t realise as she’s the most positive person you will ever meet). She really does have a tough time and I can’t bloody wait until they find a cure! The money raised will go towards supporting people who suffer from Crohn's & Colitis, to fund research into finding a cure and raise awareness. 

I’ve still got lots of training to do, in fact I haven’t really started but knowing it’s all for a great cause will get me through. Thanks in advance for any donations, I really appreciate it.
