Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm lucky enough to have been offered a London Marathon place for this year which has been moved from April to October 3rd.  As a runner who has done lots of half marathons, I have always been inspired watching the London Marathon every year, so this is an opportunity I feel I can't turn down, especially in my 40th year!   It will be my first (and most likely last!) marathon. 

My love of running began in 2013 after my Mum died in a hospice in Cheltenham.  She was incredibly well cared for and she had a very peaceful death.  This inspired me to enter my first Half Marathon where I raised money for her hospice.  A few years after that I started as a volunteer at my local hospice, Dorothy House, as I wanted to give something back to these special places.  This led to a job and I have worked there now for 4 years, being lucky enough to witness the amazing care that goes on every day.  If anyone can spare any pennies, no matter how small, I know it would be very gratefully received and will benefit a cause that is hugely personal to me.  

Thank you so much!
