Hi, thank you for visiting my page.
Further to my marathon last year I ran Brisbane half marathon this year on 2nd June guiding a vision impaired runner and I completed a 50km trail run on 27th July. Future goals include a 30km run in December (in very hot weather 🥵) and Gold Coast Marathon 2020 both guiding my vision impaired running buddy. Please read Theo's story below. Thank you.
Having taken up running at 53, running a marathon was something I never intended to do, however I have decided to take up the challenge and raise funds for the leukaemia foundation. Sadly Theo, my 5yr old great nephew, suffered from this terrible disease.
He was originally diagnosed when he was 18 months old and managed almost 2 years disease free after receiving the various treatments available for first time sufferers. Unfortunately he relapsed and there was no further treatment available to him. Sadly he passed away on Sunday, 27th May 2018. He was the most wonderful little boy who was more concerned about how those around him were going to cope than his own suffering. No family should have to go through this, research to find a cure for this disease is imperative and this is my attempt at making a small contribution.
Please sponsor me so that I can raise as much as possible to help find a cure and help families such as Theo's. Thank you.
