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 />
