Hi everyone

I'm running the Brighton Half Marathon on 2nd March 2025, for my husband Nick, who passed away on our honeymoon in Peru in October 2023.

As you would expect, it has been a very challenging time. Running has been a constant source of relief from grief, and has played a huge part in improving my mental health through this difficult period of my life.

Running brings so much positive energy to people, bringing communities together, and always reminds me of precious memories with Nick, running round South West London, Suffolk, on our holidays and competing at events.

This will be my first half marathon with a view to do a full marathon soon. Having this goal has given me something positive to focus on and look forward to, and something I know Nick would be proud of me for completing. I'm certain Nick will be with us in spirit on the day, cheering everyone on, particularly all our friends from our beloved running club https://www.bearcatrunningclub.co.uk/ who have been a huge support to both me and our families over the past year.

I would like your support to raise as much money as possible for Alzheimer’s Society, which is a charity very close to my heart with Alzheimers affecting members of our families, past and present.

Donations will fund important research, and provide practical help to those suffering with dementia.

Anything you would like to donate, however big or small, is hugely appreciated.

Those who are planning to come and support, I cant wait to see you there!

Thank you for your consideration, generosity and support.
