Hi everyone,
I can’t believe it was a week ago I finished the marathon now - it’s gone scarily quickly! I think apart from obviously finishing, the thing I’m most proud about is that I’m now able to walk up and down stairs again. My family have been treated to some amusing scenes of my varying [...]

Hi Everyone,
On 26th April I am going to be running in the Flora London Marathon. After an amazing experience last year, where thanks to your support I managed to raise over £12,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and achieve a goal that I have always dreamt of, I’ve decided to put myself through it all over [...]
