This is the opposite of a bucket list challenge for me. I’ve never wanted to run a marathon. However I want to raise awareness and support for the amazing TSA, so I’m doing it.

Tommy was diagnosed with Tuberous Sclerosis at 6 months old. He has epilepsy, delayed development and is autistic. In my very biased opinion he is just amazing. He touches the hearts of everyone he meets. It helps that he is cute! He has gone through and will continue to go through many challenges because of this condition.

Tommy is my inspiration and motivation for this huge challenge. He even comes out for runs with me in his jogging buggy. Pushing a 6 year old up a hill whilst running is a challenge in itself!

I hope you can spare a few pennies to help me reach target for this amazing charity.

Below is information about the charity.
