Corina<br />
Hawkins<br />
Bristol 35099<br />
Corina's family has been hit by numerous neurological<br />
conditions. Corina's Nana has dementia, her Aunt has<br />
Parkinson's disease, her Uncle has Motor Neurone's disease, her<br />
close friend Nicki's Mum has MS and another close friend died<br />
from a brain tumour last year. Corina obviously couldn't run for<br />
each condition but it seemed right to me to run for a charity that<br />
represented each illness and was putting money in to research.<br />
So chose the Brain Research Trust.<br />
Corina has run a few half marathons and used to be an avid<br />
hockey player. She have decided to start training for triathlons<br />
next year and cease the running. always wanted to run the<br />
<strong>London</strong> <strong>Marathon</strong> and this year it felt right. Corina has the<br />
motivation to do it as she knows she is running for a very<br />
worthwhile cause.<br />
