All my family,  friends & colleagues know me as the London girl who likes the luxe life, Christian Louboutin"s and Chanel bags. Yet those that know me a long time, know that I am also caring, I am giving of my time and always up for a challenge.  After completing my first 10K in April with my good friend Deirdre Magee Bernardini,  I got the running bug and thought how can I channel this energy to help others.

We decided we would run the Ealing Half Marathon ( 13.1miles /21km) on 25th September and support the Alzheimer Society of Ireland. This charity is very personal and close to our families.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.  Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the Alzheimer society of Ireland, in particular in support of the Longford branch.
