So after countless years of dodging every fitness session (and salad) forced upon me with a range of imaginatively created 'injuries', I decided the time was right to make amends and pay my calorie burning debt by signing up for the London Marathon 2018... And doing so for a fantastic cause.

After going to watch the marathon earlier this year, I was blown away by the achievements of those competing. After questioning my sanity for a week or so and knowing full well I'd have to skip a few nights out, I decided to sign up and do the same. Madness...

Like many, I was incredibly saddened by the story of Bradley Lowery in his fight against neuroblastoma. And whilst his life ended in such a terribly premature way, the fact that he was able to meet some of his heroes and have such fantastic experiences in his final days was incredibly heartening. This inspired me to want to do all I can (and put myself through my idea of hell) to  help do the same for other children going through similarly awful circumstances.

So please donate what you can to a fantastic cause, helping kids who have been dealt a seriously rubbish hand have great experiences to help ease their pain. 

Thank you so much.
