Story

<p>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&nbsp;run the London Marathon but just never seemed to have the motivation until now, following losing my Mum&nbsp;I felt&nbsp;I needed to do something in her memory, so I decided to enter the London Marathon and I&nbsp;was one of the&nbsp;lucky ones&nbsp;who&nbsp;got in. I have decided to run this for the Make-a-wish Foundation which&nbsp;my Mum often&nbsp;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&nbsp;deserves a wish of a lifetime,&nbsp;I hope to do&nbsp;all of this&nbsp;in memory of my mum.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting my page and particuarly if you have donated any money, it is very much appreciated all your support.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
