I am a first time Marathon runner and so lucky to have gained a place as a participant in the London Marathon 2024. It is a scary thought running 26.2 miles but I will put in the hard work to reach the start line on 21 April 2024. Please give me a beep if you see me out on a run i need all the support i can get!!

I have decided to support and raise funds for the Alzheimer's Society. I have seen firsthand the devastating impact that dementia can have on individuals and their loved ones. This disease is so cruel. The work that Alzheimer's Society does to provide support and hope for those affected by dementia is truly invaluable.

By running this marathon (my first and last!), I hope to raise awareness and funds for this important cause. My goal is to raise £500, which will go towards providing vital services such as dementia advisors, support groups, and research into finding a cure.

I appreciate that times are tough financially and I am truly grateful for any support you can offer towards my fundraising efforts.
