Leslie

Meet Leslie, who not a natural runner is pushing herself all in a bid to raise funds and awareness for SRUK, she said

'I'm running London Landmarks in memory of my dear dad, Norm, who we lost to Scleroderma when he was just 48 years old. In the lead up to my 48th birthday this year, I want to honour his memory by helping to fund research into this devastating disease. We know a lot more about it now than when he got his diagnosis, but there is still so much more to learn'.
