I am raising money for Maggie's Centres in memory of my friend Rachel Gillie, who sadly passed away in November last year at the age of 26, after a battle with cancer.

Although her battle was tough, Rachel was forever smiling and has given me so many happy and funny memories to cherish. 

Maggie's is a fantastic charity that has provided so much support to Rachel's family and friends through such a difficult time. Absolutely any donation big or small is greatly appreciated and will go towards the overall £50,000 target that Rachel's brother Adam has set.

If we are even half as determined as Rachel was, I'm confident we'll reach our target and support this amazing charity.

I will be taking part in the following challenges to help raise money:

• Born Survivor - 10km OCR - Manchester - May 13th
• Tough Mudder - 12 mile OCR - Yorkshire - July 29th 
• Total Warrior - 10 mile OCR - Lake District - August 5th
• Great North Run - 13.1 mile run - Newcastle - Sept 10th

More TBC!
