So, my brother and I had this idiot idea that it would be lovely to run the London Marathon together. I got in. He didn’t. So he’s left me to do it on my own. Rude. Not only that, but I thought it would be clever to be sober until I finished it. So far so good, I haven’t drank since January.

I have decided to raise some money for the Stroke Association. Granted I’ve left this a little late to organise it, but better that than never. For those not in the know Strokes have had a frightening impact on the life of my family. And it’s through the research and knowledge of the medical staff, not to mention the sheer tenacity and will of a certain individual, that you wouldn’t know it today. Whatever we raise will go towards helping others to research, recover and raise awareness.

Whether it’s in support of the marathon or my continued sobriety, anything you can give would mean the world to me.

Thank you x
