So originally this marathon was supposed to be run in 2023 by myself and Trigger. Unfortunately due to injury we had to defer to 2024. Trigger now has an injury that isnt healing quick enough and has sadly had to withdraw. So im now taking on the massive challenge on my own. I'm not a natural runner by any means and am also always picking up injuries so the training I've done so far has been tough! The reason for this act of insanity is to be able to justify asking for donations to the willow foundation and of course all money raised will be in memory of the much loved and missed Rob Hooper. Everyone already knows how much i love this charity and i'll continue to support them for as long as i can. All donations are so appreciated and will go a long way towards helping families have their Special Days to make unforgetable memories.

At Willow we believe in quality of life and quality of time. Willow is the only national charity working with seriously ill young adults aged 16 to 40 to fulfil uplifting and unforgettable Special Days. This year we hope to fulfil 1,400 Special Days – a day to anticipate, to share and to remember when happy memories really do count. Sadly for some, it’s a last chance to fulfil a dream with the people that really matter. Thankfully for many more their Special Day is an important opportunity to put much-needed normality back into living.
