Every year I sit and watch the London Marathon hungover from the comfort of my sofa and say "one day I'll do that"  Well, 24th April 2016 is that day, the day I tighten my laces to take on 26.2 miles across London. I will be running in memory of my dad who left my world too soon but gave me the determination to push on and achieve whatever it is I wanted to do. I'll also be raising money for a local charity called QEF who do great work supporting young people with brain injuries so that they can lead a more independent life - something I take for granted every day. So all I ask is that you dig deep and give generously so that next year I can sit back on the sofa and say "been there done that!".
