On 22 April 2007, the day of the last London Marathon, we lost a good friend, Stuart Burke, to Epilepsy (sudep).

Stu was a keen runner, and had often talked about wanting to run the London Marathon.
He won't get a chance now, and so we’re going to run it for him – probably not as quickly as Stu would have done, but in his memory. We’re also raising funds for a charity who work hard to offer help and support to epilepsy sufferers.

While we may be sadly lacking in fitness, we do have a belly full of determination, and a great bunch of friends and family behind us – your support is so important, and so much appreciated.

This blog has been created to share some of our journey with anybody out there who's interested. The countdown has begun!
