"In May 2018 my dad was diagnosed with PSP. This hit me and got me thinking what could I do to raise awareness and funds for this illness of which I had no knowledge of prior to May 2018. I applied for a London Marathon ballot place which again I was unsuccessful for.
"Whilst exploring my dad’s illness I came across PSPA. This was a sign! I applied online for a place and I remember the day in September 2019 when I got a phone call offering me a #TeamPSPA place in the London Marathon 2020. This happened to be the same day as my dad’s consultant appointment. For me this was a clear sign it was meant to be.
"I plan to take part in the virtual London Marathon on 4 October, 26.2 miles locally supported by my running friends. And I’ve applied to run the London Marathon event now in 2022.
"Whilst it’s been a whole rollercoaster of emotions since that initial phone call confirming my place, one thing that keeps me humble and motivated is this rollercoaster is nothing compared to what my dad faces each and every day living with PSP."
