Riley James underwent serious surgery at the age of 14 as a result of his scoliosis condition. Not many years later he is taking on the London Marathon. He tells us how his training is going and his early successes with his fundraising, including chatting to all of his customers! Getting started early is really important and following a plan for both makes the whole process so much earlier.

If you'd like to follow in Riley's footsteps and run your next event for Scoliosis Support & Research, or you're interested in one of the charity's London Marathon entries, email Will [email protected]. Thank you.
