Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

When I first signed up to run the marathon in 2020 I was running for Jane, my oldest and dearest friends mum.

Jane was diagnosed with early onset vascular dementia in April 2015 at the age of 64.

Jane's declined was traumatic for her family and very rapid and at the time of training she was in a care home where she could no longer walk, feed herself, clean herself, stand, right herself when seated in a chair or communicate.

Then the pandemic hit and the marathon was put on hold.

Jane passed away in May 2021 so I am now running in memory of her, a beautiful, strong, hilarious and wonderful woman, whilst raising money in the hope it can help other families in similar situations.

I am running alongside her amazing daughter Sarah, whose incredible father passed away in 2019. She has had the most painful year and yet still has the strength to run for her Mum.

I hope to be of some support to her on the day!
