This year I have decided to fundraise for The Pattenmakers Company Charitable Foundation and they support fantastic causes. Some of these causes are: "I Choose Freedom" is a charity dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic abuse, specifically for women and children. St Mary-Le-Bow’s Young Homelessness Project provides accommodation for people between the ages of 19-25 in central London. The Pattenmakers Charitable Foundation offers various forms of support to children through training and education - this one is the closest to my heart.

As some of you know, I have a son with significant educational needs, and I know how important the support is and the change it makes.  

So what is my goal for this marathon? Something that will challenge me and push me? I've done lot's of marathons but I've never done one below 3 hours - so this is my goal for this one - the result that will definitely test me and will require some strong will to push it. So please donate and support this amazing charity and let's make a change together. 

Thank you.
