Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I ran my first marathon in November 2014; my one and only marathon or so I thought...... I registered for the Brighton Marathon some time ago; however in recent months a very close friend of mine was diagnosed with Second Stage Breast Cancer. This news has devastated not only her but her family and friends. Being a mum of two, whose children are the same age as my own, this news has hit home quite hard.

My friend is the most brave, kind, strong and amazing person I know with a smile that would brighten the darkest of days. This charity, "Second Hope" (www.secondhope.co.uk) chosen by her, raises awareness and increases knowledge of Advanced Breast Cancer, supports and empowers those diagnosed, campaigns on behalf of those affected and funds research.

My own mum was diagnosed with Breast Cancer over three years ago and I am sure that most of you know someone who has had this terrible disease. Therefore, by supporting me and giving to this great charity you will make a difference to many women.

I have set the bar quite high. I am looking to raise £5,000 for Second Hope. I am also looking to beat my previous marathon time of 4hrs 8mins (no pressure!).

Therefore I ask, please please dig deep. Every penny will be greatly appreciated.

Love
