I am running the southampton half marathon on the 26th April 2015, I am running the half marathon for Youth and Families Matter. An organisation which is based at the church I am a member of. Some people asked me why run a half marathon well on 1st May 2014 I was diagnosed as diabetic and have made a few changes in my lifestyle so far I have lost 5 stone in weight and wanted to do more exercise so the half marathon seem a good idea it has given me the opportunity to get fitter and raise money for an amazing organisation which works with so many people.
