Story

I'm running London Marathon on 2nd October in memory of my Brother Matt!  He was only diagosed with IPF (Lung Disease) just before Christmas and sadly died on 17th February!  We were hoping that he would receive a lung transplant but unfortunately he was disagnosed with osteoperosis in his spine and ribs last year so this wasn't possible.

Lung disease can affect anyone and is an increibly cruel disease, Matt was a non-smoker and had never worked in an environment which could have caused the lung disease. 

Help me raise as much money as possible for this incredibly important chairty.  

Thanks to everyone who supports me
