2 months until Skopje Marathon 🇲🇰

I'm very undercooked. August and September are big months, hope my stupid legs will hold out!

If you'd like to sponsor me ad edge closer to a cure for M.E

Had a 2-3 week break and now back in training.

Next one for me is Skopje Marathon, North Macedonia 🇲🇰

Marathon 38, country 34 and I'm likely to reach 10,000 miles.

It looks like a beautiful country. If anybody knows of anyone with M.E there please let me know, I'd love to meet/interview them.

3 years since completing a marathon race in all 27 EU nations for @investinmeresearch.bsky.social

£42k raised at the time.

Gone on to run in another 5 new countries since then, adding £9k.

It was a life changing experience. Am still here representing my ME pals until we get a cure.

Happy Christmas everyone 🎅

Got out for a 4 miler earlier, now looking forward to stuffing my face.

Thoughts as ever with people who find today and every day a struggle. I hope tomorrow's crash isn't too awful.

Medals are out of the loft and back on the hanger.

Some of them are in bad shape. Any recommendations on a decent product to clean them up?

Thanks for following if you don't know me.

I've just passed the 10 year anniversary of when I began running marathons for ME research.

I'm aiming to raise funds for biomedical projects whilst connecting and highlighting the stories of people with ME that I meet
