On Sunday 15th April I’ll be taking on my second 26.2 miles, in East Sussex’s premiere seaside resort, Brighton. It’s the UK's second largest marathon and one of the toughest, due to the strong coastal winds and distracting local gulls.

As in 2016 when I ran London, I'll be raising funds and awareness for Breast Cancer Care. It’s a cause that’s very close to my heart, not least because my tough-as-nails Mum has battled the disease four times over the last 27 years - and continues to battle, while partying inspirationally.

My agro competitive spirit comes almost entirely from Gill C, and I’ll be remembering that with every twinge of my left quad, as I trundle swearingly toward the shimmering seafront.

I’d be beyond grateful and humbled if you can spare anything for this amazing charity. It all goes straight to providing support, information and services to those fighting the most common cancer in the UK.

Thank you!

Tom X
