Dear friends and family, 

I’m excited to share that I am running the 2023 London Marathon with the charity Oxford Samaritans. It has been a dream of mine to run a marathon, and I am very proud to be able to do so while fundraising for a charity that does such important work.

I am currently studying at the University of Oxford, and purposefully wanted to support an organization which directly impacts the community which I have become a part of. Oxford Samaritans has the mission of providing emotional support to anyone who is struggling to cope, especially with suicidal thoughts. Their emphasis on the importance of human connection is something that resonates with me, especially as our lives have become more digital. 

I am thankful to have the opportunity to run, and I would appreciate any support. This will be my first marathon, so whether you are able to make a donation or cheer for me, I appreciate hearing from you! Thank you!

Love, Clarice

P.S. I have linked my Strava in case anyone would like to follow my training progress!
