Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am going to be running the London Marathon 2023 for the charity 'KIDS'. Being a mum to a child with additional needs I appreciate more than most just how challenging life can be, not just for me but for the rest of our family too, life can well and truly get in the way and unfortunately, his siblings do miss out on things. 

KIDS support not just children with disabilities but their families too, they offer support services for young carers, including siblings and the work that they do proves invaluable to so many people. 

If you'd told me a year ago that I would be writing this, I would have laughed, to be honest, the idea of me running an actual marathon is quite a bizarre concept even now but with the support of those around me I'll definitely give it my best shot! I know that it isn't going to be easy but nor is life and if I can put myself through this challenge and raise money for this charity to be able to support more children and their families then it will all be worth it. What's a few hours of pushing my body to it's limits compared to what some children and their families go through every day of their, often short, lives.
