Story

It has always been a dream to run in the London Marathon for a charity that has personal meaning to me and my family. I say dream because I couldn't run...!

That changed on 16th May 2018. Moving to Iwade, Kent, I joined a Couch 2 5k group to make new friends. Now, with many new friends made, we are an established running team called Run Iwade and I'm so proud to be a part of it. Running at least 5k, up to 4 days a week, I love it!

Through my work at London Luton Airport, we are currently supporting Macmillan and they very kindly invited me to run the London Marathon on their behalf. I'm honoured and privileged for this opportunity.

With the support of new friends and old, and fabulous family I strive to raise at least £3k, as well as train for this awesomely iconic event. I'm not getting any younger so this may be my only chance!

Please help me achieve my dream by donating to this worthy charity, who cared for my Mum in her final days and who may well have cared for someone close to you, giving me the determination, willpower and encouragement to train through wind, rain and snow!

Thank you, Love to all x

Dream - Believe - Achieve
