Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 28th April 2019 I am running my first (and last!) marathon, the
London Marathon, and far, so good...the training plan is working and lots of encouraging support from. friends and family - thank you very much!

Now with just only 8 days until the big day, I just wanted to say another big  thank you for your generous donations and words of support, they really  mean a lot! I have been training hard and overall have enjoyed the structure and fitness benefits that come with following a training plan properly. I ran the Bath Half Marathon in March comfortably in 1:56 and the Salisbury 10 mile Race last Sunday smashing my PB by 4.5 minutes! I'm feeling fitter, healthier and leaner and cannot wait to run London next
weekend!

I am running for Melanoma UK Incorporating Factor 50, a great charity that supports those and their families affected by melanoma, a type of skin cancer.  On 14th August 2016 I lost my dear Mum to melanoma and saw first hand how awful this disease is, robbing our family of a truly wonderful woman.

It's taken me over two years to get my head around doing a marathon and it seems fitting to do it now and raise money for Melanoma UK, who receive no government funding and who fund nurses and help with vital research.  A perfect combination in memory of my dear Mum who I still miss very much.

So please help support me in this run and in turn support those with melanoma.  Every penny helps and your generosity is greatfully appreciated.
