Story

Grandad always used to say 'As long as you try your best.' So I'm going to try my very best to run 26 miles on the 26 May 2013 and yes, I'm being sick in my mouth as I say this. 

I have saved my biggest race yet to raise money in memory of my Grandad. He was a wonderful man who was respected and treasured by all who met him. Dementia is the most horrific thing you can possibly witness a loved one struggle with and sadly Grandad was taken from us 15 years ago when I was just 13 years old.

If I can muster just a snippet of the strength that he had then I might just stand a chance of crossing the line. There's plenty of time to donate, but when you are able to do so please give as much as you can afford for this very special charity, in memory of a truely remarkable man x
