Adam's 2024 London Marathon DEBRA fundraiser

I'm running my first ever marathon this year and I'll be raising money for DEBRA, a charity that supports those suffering with the devastating symptoms of the skin condition EB.

I began running 18 months ago in an effort to do something about my mental health, and to get fit after a hernia operation and years of not looking after myself very well. Running has become an extremely important part of my life. 

I feel very priveleged to be able to run, to have safe spaces to run in (as a white man this is much easier than if I were in pretty much any other body), and to enjoy the mental and physical benefits that come to me from running and being part of a running community.

EB is the term for a group of painful genetic skin conditions that cause the skin to become very fragile and tear or blister at the slightest touch. DEBRA is the main fundraising body for research and support for those with EB.

Anything you can contribute is enormously appreciated!
