Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So, somehow in the last couple of years Ive decided I wanted to keep challenging myself.  I think my dad is worried I'm the milk mans as there is not a fitness bone in their body! With every event I've tried not to fundraise unless it's for a cause I really want to support and keep harassing you all. So here we go...London marathon 2016. This is my first marathon and I emailed KAB immediately to ask as they've helped and supported my family and are close to my heart. 

When dad was diagnosed they came to the house, helped us with training, tips on how to change the house or extra bits we could get to assist. When dad launched his art exhibition they were also supportive enough to advertise it and attend and have been a great personal and kind hearted team. We couldn't thank them enough!!!

So here we go, please donate whatever you can or even just a taxi ride for when I get 5 miles in 😬. If anyone wants to come up on the day please bring a stack of gin in a tin and popcorn - perfect combo and all I'll need at the finishing line xx
