I've always wanted to run the London Marathon (mainly to beat my brothers times) so I can't claim that my primary motive has always been to do it for a good cause. But a lot has happened since then and this is now far more important than just the time I want to run!

Dementia steals minds and steals the last memories families get to share with their loved ones. Research is our only chance of changing the ending which is why I have chosen Alzheimers Research UK.

Prostate cancer may now be better understood and there may be treatments that we are grateful exist. But it doesn't make the impact and uncertainty any easier. A man dies every hour in England from this cancer...that's reason to continue to support the work Prostate Cancer UK is doing.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Please note I aim to raise £1000 and split the donations as close to 50:50 as possible with Alzheimers Research UK and Prostate Cancer UK. If you are kind enough to donate to my fundraising, please try to balance the funding as much as possible across both my pages. Thank you!
