Story
Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to read my just giving page. As a number of you reading this will know i have been a keen runner for the last 7 years and through all the sports i play and compete in I always like to test myself.
So with that said and after attempting to get in several times previously i have managed to secure a Charity place in this years London Marathon running for and representing YMCA England & Wales.
In October 2018 i completed the Chester Metric Marathon (16 Miles) which is my furthest distance covered to date. Running a Marathon is said to be one of the hardest physical activities you can put your body through but i am hoping that a solid training plan along with the adrenaline and support from the crowds on the day will carry me through.
I appreciate that money can be tight but if you would or could give as little or as much as you can afford to assist me to raise my target of £2000 it would be very much appreciated.
Please see below some details about the YMCA if you are not familiar with the wonderful work they do. I will keep my page updated with regular training updates so we can all experience My Marathon Journey together.
Many young people begin their journeys at YMCA after facing hardship and not always receiving the support they so often require, YMCAs are able to offer much needed support including a place to call home, health and wellbeing support with access to support workers and counsellors, help with getting back into education and the work place.

YMCA England & Wales support 116 YMCAs across England & Wales. YMCA England & Wales acts as a national voice for local YMCAs by speaking in government to MPs and key policy makers, representing YMCAs and young people by advocating for their needs.
YMCAs across England & Wales work in local communities, with a focus on supporting young people, helping them to play an active and fulfilling role within their communities.
