I am running The Big Half marathon and am raising money for Paul Strickland Scanner Centre. Paul Strickland Scanner Centre is a charity close to my heart as they looked after my dad prior to his passing last year and are now also looking after my mum. Nothing like keeping it in the family!

The Big Half follows a stunning 13.1 mile closed-road course, starting by London's iconic Tower Bridge and finishing at Cutty Sark in Greenwich.

It's a community running festival that brings Londoners of all backgrounds and abilities together in a celebration of the city's diversity - whilst raising much-needed funds for charity in the process!
