London Marathon Fundraiser for Alzheimers Research UK
Fundraising for Alzheimer's Research UK
Story
Hi all! So most of you know my journey from being super unfit and 4.5 stone heavier to becoming a runner and exercise freak! Well... here starts my biggest challenge of all... to run the London Marathon!! I’m doing it for two main reasons:
1) To show the children you can do whatever you want if you work hard and never, ever give up and show them that exercise is not a chore but something that you build into your life. I hope to inspire them to help them make healthy choices.
2) To raise as much money as is possible for Alzheimer’s Research UK - they desperately need our help.... see some stats below... and please help in any way you can. After all - every little helps!! Thanks all x
