Most of you all know by now that I have set up a charity to raise money in memory of my younger Brother, Neil, who sadly passed away in October 2017 from Cancer. The charity is incredibly important to me and I need to achieve the target I set myself of raising £100k in Neil's name. Those of you who also know me know that a) I am not built to run & b) I absolutely hate running! So what better way to raise money than by doing something I detest! 

The London Landmarks 1/2 Marathon is on 29th March 2020, and the 13.1 miles will take me around the centre of London. I have been training for a little while now and is going OK. What inspires me is how Neil fought this disease and knowing if he could go through what he did, then this is nothing in comparison. I strive to be as good as my hero every day and this is one way of doing that. Your support will help make it that little bit more easier for sure. So please, dig deep, and help me to support this fantastic charity.
