Now, thankfully, 10 years and many many miles later, he’s still here. But for many who have received the same diagnosis the years haven’t been so kind, and their only hope is to ‘be careful on the stairs
So in gratitude for 10 wonderful years we didn’t think we’d have we’re walking (not running!) the London Marathon in the hope of raising £10 000 for PSPA, the charity that supports those with CBD and the closely associated PSP.
£10 000 for 10 years, seems like the least we can do.
