So after 16 years of rejections from the London Marathon ballot I've bitten the bullet and signed up for the Brighton Marathon 2025!

This is a huge challenge for me but I know that raising money for a charity close to my heart will get me over the finish line come April 6th.

Some of you may not know that I have had my battles with mental health over the years and continue to work on them day by day with the help of therapy and the support of friends and family. By talking about my struggles and raising money for this wonderful charity, I hope to help get rid of the stigma attached to talking about mental health and help people to open up and get help if they're facing any kind of trouble.

If you could spare the cost of a pint or cup of coffee and help me achieve my goal I will be extremely grateful and you'll be helping me get through the tough winter months of training that lie ahead.
