Less than two weeks until I take on 28 marathons in 28 days along the southwest coast path in memory of my daughter Anabella who died three years ago and we’re so close to getting to my second target of £3,000 and I’d really love it if you guys could help me get there by sharing my message.
Money that I raise will help me get my message across and also support some great charity: The Grand Appeal which supports ill kids and their families in the South Wast and Cruse Bereavement a national charity that gives free bereavement counselling to parents and other people who have lost their loved ones.
So am I prepared? To be honest, I don’t know, I feel strong for sure but can you ever really prepare yourself for 28 marathons in 28 days? Could I have prepared myself for the death of my child? For the death of AnaBella? No, but I’m getting through it and that’s what I’m going to do with this challenge.

What gives me solace is the only person that I’m up against is me and that’s quite often the case in life.
The person that you’re up against is yourself whether that be in grief or depression.
Some people will help you along the way, and I’ve had some great people help me along the way. Help me during AnaBellas life like Grand Appeal, after she died like Cruse Bereavement and some friends and family that helped me throughout. But fundamentally it was down to me.
The same with this challenge. I’ve had some great people support me, all you guys that have sponsored me so far and shared my message. I have connected with Beckah Maxwell from The Firm Touch in Frome sponsoring me by giving me free massages. Some campsites along the southwest coast path have reached out and offered me free pitches. So thanks to all of them I am getting support along the way, but again fundamentally it’s down to me.
It’s a challenge: me against me and I’m gonna get through this.
Thanks again if you can share this message, God bless you and see you soon
