Story

In 2010 I went through a difficult journey of life when my beloved Mum was killed in a car accident 7 days after celebrating her 60th Birthday, she was a very special person to me. I had always said I would like to run the London Marathon but just never seemed to have the motivation until now, following losing my Mum I felt I needed to do something in her memory, so I decided to enter the London Marathon and I was one of the lucky ones who got in. I have decided to run this for the Make-a-wish Foundation which my Mum often gave to, I hope to raise as much money as possible to be able to grant or help towards granting a wish for somebody who really knows about hard times and deserves a wish of a lifetime, I hope to do all of this in memory of my mum.

Big thanks to all my friends who have been so supportive through this difficult period, I could not have made it through without you all.
