I was unsure about asking you all for more donations because so many of you have been so kind already over the years & after the UTS 100km (your generosity made such a difference to Maggies) last year I was not sure I could face the pressure of getting an epic challenge done.

But 2 things are stuck in my mind & soul:

1 -My world since Pippas death has been shaped & rebuilt by the help from the Maggies psychiatrist, plus Pippa called walking into Maggies like walking into a “warm cuddle” & that warm cuddle needs to be kept stocked for all those who need it.

2 - I am on £25,000.00 raised & wouldn’t £30,000.00 sound amazing!

So to match your generosity, I’ve decided to set myself an unbelievable personal challenge. I will compete 3 races:

1/2 Marathon - Liverpool

Full Marathon - London

Ultra Marathon - Snowdonia (55k)

I look forward to the training, the challenges, but must of all giving something back to Maggies that has given me so much.
