On the 11th October, my niece Daisy was born in the Snowdrop suite at Northampton General Hospital at only 20 weeks old. Sadly she passed away only 1 hour and 25 minutes later.

The courage that she showed has inspired me to take up running! I must be mad! 13.1 miles of pain will be worth it knowing that we’re raising money for such worthwhile charities. Tommy’s, SANDs and Children are Butterflies support families every day and we need to help them. They helped my brother and his family and do everything they can to make times easier for them.

So, if you want to see me run the streets of London then sign up! Every penny counts.
