On June 1st 2025, I will be running the VHI Women's Mini Marathon in memory of my Dad, James, who passed away September 2024.

He suffered with his lungs due to Asbestosis, COPD and pulmonary fibrosis with rapid decline and we lost him too quickly.

He was such a great man and all our family miss him so much. This incurable illness made him feel trapped in his own body and all he wanted to do was go for a walk or a swim which we take for granted.

I am trying to raise money for the ILFA to help support other families to cope with such a crippling incurable disease. If you would like to donate I appreciate this so much. Thank you for reading this.
