Hi everyone, I aiming to raise money for the Marina Dalglish Appeal by participating in my first ever half marathon! 

The Hastings Half Marathon is, by all accounts, a fairly brutal race to complete due to its hilly course. It is now less than two weeks until race day and my training program has left my legs looking (and feeling) like crumpled papier mâché. Therefore, any donations to spur me on will be greatly appreciated!

The Marina Dalglish Appeal is a charity that has an invaluable role in supporting people with cancer and their families in the Merseyside area. This included my Dad, who regularly received treatment at the Marina Dalglish Centre until his passing last year. He had a wonderful relationship with many of the staff at the Centre, and could not speak highly enough about the level of care that they provided.

Thank you very much in advance x
