About me

Wednesday 6th Aug
I’m really excited to be running the 2026 TCS London Marathon on behalf of Parkinson’s UK. I’m doing it for my dad. He died in September 2022, aged 90 years, after suffering from Parkinson’s for 15 years. 

My dad would have loved that I’m running the London Marathon. We used to watch it on TV together when I was younger…..I even said to him I’ll run that one day (never having run before)! 

When I started running in 1997 my dad used to follow me in the car just in case I needed a lift back! 

After I’d ran my first 10k in 1998 I told my dad I thought I might run a half marathon next. He told me to imagine finishing one 10k and then running another straight after it to make up the half marathon distance. I ended up running a few half marathons.

Now that I’m running the London Marathon I imagine he’d be asking me how I’d feel to finish one half marathon and have to run another right after….I’ll find out in April!
