I've lined up 3 marathons to compete in, starting with the Chicago Marathon on the 13th October, Valencia on the 1st December and finally Boston Marathon on the 21st April. These are all big (big!) races and I'm aiming to finish each of them in less than 3 hours.

Alongside this, I'd like to raise money for Anaphylaxis UK who are the only UK-wide charity operating solely for people at risk of serious allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. With a child that is directly affected by this and knowing a few other people facing the same issues, I wanted to raise funds to help them. As you may have seen in the media, all it takes is one miscommunication or forgetting to check a meal fully and you can trigger a life threatening reaction in seconds that needs urgent medical intervention and a trip to hospital.

Anaphylaxis UK run a help line to support people (01252 542029). This costs about £320 a week and I'd like to raise enough to help with the cost for 10 weeks. They are a small organisation and I know the donations will be greatly valued by them.

Please consider making a slightly bigger donation to help such an important organisation. Thanks!
