A few of you might be a little confused as to what happened with the Brighton marathon which I was meant to take part in last year in March 2020. Obviously due to COVID it didn't go ahead, but fortunately I am back to surprise you all, taking part in the 2021 London Marathon on the 3rd October. All donations are still gratefully received and I thank all of those who donated previously, they have been put to good use as I am still taking on the challenge, just in a different location. Not at all long to go, so get donating if you can. Strongly appreciate all of your support, as ever.

I will be challenging the depths of my abilities to raise as much money as I can for a great cause : action for A-T (Ataxia - Telangiectasia) a fierce disease which affects Children and Toddlers when they start walking and can most always be fatal. Find out more about the illness in the description below:

Action for A-T was established in 2012 by parents whose daughter was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition named Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T). Since 2012, we have invested over £2.2 million in 34 A-T related research projects globally and work constantly with the best scientific minds to develop new research opportunities. The charity has its own highly qualified multi-disciplinary medical advisory and peer review panel and a grant management process which has led us to achieving a best practice award from the national Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC). The charity’s mission is simple, we aim to speed up the process of identifying a cure for A-T or treatments that delay or prevent the disabling effects of this devastating childhood condition. We do this by seeking and funding high quality peer-reviewed medical research both in the UK and around the world. Further investment into A-T research is urgently required as there is currently no treatment or cure.
