Corina's Nana has dementia, her Aunt has Parkinson's disease, her Uncle has Motor Neurone's disease, her close friend Nicki's Mum has MS and another close friend died from a brain tumour last year. Corina obviously couldn't run for each condition but it seemed right to me to run for a charity that represented each illness and was putting money in to research. So chose the Brain Research Trust. Corina has run a few half marathons and used to be an avid hockey player. She have decided to start training for triathlons next year and cease the running. always wanted to run the London Marathon and this year it felt right. Corina has the motivation to do it as she knows she is running for a very worthwhile cause. Brain Research Trust
