As you probably know I am not a 'runner', so running the London marathon is going to be a massive challenge for me. 

I'm running to raise money for Lepra- an international charity working to beat leprosy.

Today 600 people will be diagnosed with leprosy, with 3 million people across the globe living with undiagnosed leprosy. Its not a disease of the past...Leprosy still exists, and is still destroying lives.

Your support WILL change lives. Last year Lepra rached 29,1890 people with diagnostic treatment and holistic care, as well as 226, 730 people through health education and events to raise awareness of leprosy and other neglected diseases.

Lepra will allocate a substantial 91% of the money I raise straight to help people affected by leprosy, reducing transmission and promoting wellbeing.
