Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and supporting my fundraising with your much needed donation. I'm taking part in the London Marathon on Sunday 23rd April 2023 to raise money for the Zurich Community Trust (ZCT).
Since 1973, ZCT has awarded over £90 million in funding to charities, causes and community programmes all over the UK and overseas.
Their current national charity partners are Barnardos - supporting children and young people's mental health, Dementia UK - supporting those living with dementia, their loved ones and carers, and Magic Breakfast - supporting child hunger. Each national partner receives £300,000 over two years, so any fundraising will really help provide that promised support.
Each year, ZCT also support over 60 local charity partners through funding, free access to learning resources and skill sharing through employee volunteers.
Having run the London Marathon for the first time in 2010 for ZCT, a second time in 2021 via general ballot; this third (and final she says!) time through a ZCT place feels like a home coming. I will do my best to smash the fundraising target and my personal time target, so I really appreciate any donation you can give. Words of wisdom and encouragement also accepted!.
