Story

I am crazily running the London Marathon again after saying never again after having a great experience with Di in 2018, then oh go on then this year, I finally got a place in the ballot. I'm training like crazy at the minute and would like to thank Simon, Red Rose and Team Tommy for all their running support. I don't need to raise the crazy 2.5k like last time but thought I'd try and do some good. I've set a £100 target to support the great local work of Blackburn Foodbank. If you'd like to sponsor me, no matter how small, I'd be very grateful and also send me lots of positive vibes. I'm doing 18 miles on my long run this weekend.


Thanks,

The foodbank was there when we really needed it, it was an absolute lifeline.We dont think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. Thats why we provide three days nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.We have recieved an unprecedented amount of referrals during the Covid19 Crisis. We don't want to see anyone without food during this challenging time. Your donations will help us to expand our service to meet the increasing need. Thank you
