Having run the London Marathon back in 2012 (both very unfit and a 1st year university student!) I have decided to take on this task again alongside several of my close friends and family in aid of 'The J's Hospice'. 

Over more recent years The J's Hospice provided an invaluable level of care and support for my family, especially for my brother- Alex. They provided regular care with their 'hospice at home' service which gave my parents a break and my brother an enjoyable time at home.

The J's are a fantastic local charity which provide an exceptionally supportive service for young adults with disabilities. For this reason and for the close connection which my family have formed with the charity I am taking on the London Marathon on the 22nd April to raise as much money as possible for a very worthy cause.

Thank you for reading and for the support. If anyone fancies a running partner, let me know!!
