On the 2nd of April, I'm running my first marathon in Brighton! I've decided to use this great opportunity to raise money for the Motor Neuron Disease Association and the Alzheimer's Research UK charity. Most of my career has been dedicated to furthering our understanding of these two devastating conditions and I wanted to use this race as a chance to further raise awareness about the amazing work these charities do.

Both charities are committed to changing the lives of people with MND and Alzheimer's disease, through the funding of research, running community and support groups, lobbying for policy change at a government level, and supporting the development of novel therapies.

Running through the rain, hail, and sometimes even snow has been a rewarding challenge and I'm looking forward to trying to run the furthest I ever have! I would be grateful for any support you could give. I would like to raise equal amounts for each charity, but please feel free to choose the one you would like to donate to.

Note: There are two "Team members" below, one is for ARUK and the other is MNDA. If you click the donate button beside the charity you want to donate to it will take you to the right page.

Bring on the 2nd of April!!
