My Story

I am raising money for Mesothelioma UK in memory of my wonderful Dad, Roger, who tragically and cruelly lost his life to the disease in 2006 at just 57 years old. 

I appreciate that times are tough right now, but any amount, no matter how small, will be truly appreciated and help me get round the 26.2 miles!

The training has been challenging both mentally and physically. I'm not a natural runner and it's really tough but I'm very grateful to have the opportunity in taking part in the London Marathon.

Thank you for reading 🙏

The London Marathon has become an annual, inspiring and colourful fixture in the world’s sporting calendar since the inaugural race on 29 March 1981: a celebration of fun, fundraising and fancy dress.

Over the years more than a million people have completed the 26.2-mile course – which runs from Blackheath to The Mall, with a spectacular finish in front of Buckingham Palace, showcasing the very best that the capital city has to offer.

What’s more, these participants have raised over a billion pounds for charity and there have been countless amazing tales of human achievement throughout the event’s history – living up to its aim of helping participants ‘to have fun, and provide some happiness and sense of achievement in a troubled world’.
