So I've decided to do something totally bonkers and run the London Marathon 2018 in memory of my beautiful Mum. She was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer in December 2014, and passed away just a few months later in March 2015 when she was only 56. She was the most incredible, kind and loving person and is missed more than words could ever describe.

Also doing this for the incredible Ben Ashworth who ran 24 marathons in 24 months throughout his treatment for bowel cancer, raising an incredible amount of money in the process. A truly inspirational man!

I've been lucky enough to be given a charity place with the wonderful charities Beating Bowel Cancer and Bowel Cancer UK who have been incredibly supportive and wonderful throughout all my campaigning! I've got a big target to reach, but no donation amount is too small! Thank you all for your love and support, let the training commence!!
