My Story
The London Marathon has always been on my list to complete, but it's never quite happened! Having got back in to running a couple of years ago, it soon dawned on me that the urge to do it remained and this time with renewed energy!
Having ticked off the usual, 10k, half-marathon and plenty of long training runs, I'm now eagerly awaiting 21st April!
I knew that I wanted to race for a charity where even on a cold winters day, you'd still push yourself to go and run, even when a cup of coffee and staying warm would have been the more pleasurable option.
Having looked at various options, I decided on Shelter, not only because they do so much incredible work, but also because for many people they help the option of staying warm isn't something they can enjoy so easily as I can on a cold day!
Every pound you donate is massively appreciated and on race day I'll be giving it everything!
Thanks so much.
