Hi my name is Alex,

I'm raising money for the Royal Parks Charity and running a Half Marathon in support of their charity. The funds raised will go towards the upkeep of the many beautiful parks across London as well as environmental conservation projects that take place.

This Half Marathon will also be an exciting challenge for me as for a while now I have enjoyed running and have been involved in a local parkrun for about a year now. I've been meaning to take it to a new level and this Half Marathon is the perfect opportunity.

Thank you in advance for your contribution and some more info on the charity is below:
