My Story

I'm running the London Marathon this year for Living Words to support them as they support people like my Mum.  She was diagnosed with Alzheimers a few years back now and Living Words have been a great support.  They've listened to and recorded her memories in print, involved her in film and arts projects.  Just recently she was on zoom interviewing a Hollywood producer!

I love that Living Words sees past the condition and focuses on the wonderful people they work with, how they bring positivity, creativity and warmth to what can be a harrowing disease. Thank you Living Words team for all you do.

So - on the 3rd October it will be a great privilege to pull on my trainers to run the London Marathon for Living Words - the first to do so I believe with an official Living Words marathon slot.  This won't be the first time I've run for this wonderful charity.  In 2019, with support from my long suffering father, a group of runners and Susanna waving flags like crazy I ran from London where I live to my parent's house in Kent.  16 hours and 121km.  

So this is chapter two of my Living Words marathon journey, and yes it is a bit shorter, but I'm not getting any younger and the last time I checked there was no such thing as an easy marathon!  Still going to hurt like hell the day after - but if it raises some money for Living Words - it'll be worth every blister!
