Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Hello everyone :)
On Sunday 24th April I have the honour of taking part in one of the biggest challenges of my life, The London Marathon 2016. For everyone that knows me you will be aware that I am not the best of runners, but I will be stepping off the treadmill and onto the roads for the first time in
an attempt to run 26.2 long, painful miles on the streets of London. In
preparation for this, I will also be running the Liverpool half Marathon on Sunday 13th March.
I will be raising money for the Walking With Giants Foundation which is a local volunteer ran charity which enriches the lives of individuals and families affected by Primordial Dwarfism.
Not only does the charity offer invaluable support to all affected by this rare condition, they also spend a lot of time raising awareness of Primordial Dwarfism to help tackle the prejudice that child with PD often encounter.
For a little more information about Primordial Dwarfism and the great work that the Walking With Giants Foundation do, please visit www.walkingwithgiants.org

And if the idea of running 26.2 miles wasn’t daunting enough, I thought I would share this article that I came across while doing my research…
