On Saturday 13th November 2021, I will be running my first ever half marathon to raise money for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) UK. This is a charity close to my heart as in 2001 I sadly lost my brother to SMA. What makes this half marathon even more special to me, is that it takes place on my brothers 21st birthday.

Now, I'm used to running for 90 minutes on a football pitch but running a half marathon will be a real challenge given that I've never run further than 10km in one go before! However, I'm always up for a challenge and I'd be so grateful for any donations to help out this amazing charity.

Established for over 30 years, SMA UK are a charity that supports, campaigns and advocates so that everyone affected by Spinal Muscular Atrophy can access the best care, services and treatments, and benefit from continued research.
