Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am planning to run my first – and probably last – marathon in remembrance of my mother, Gea van Vemde, who passed away during the first lockdown. We are still cherishing the final meetings, the celebration of her 80^th birthday earlier in the same year, and the unusual final ceremony because of Covid. I hope to run the Royal Parks Half marathon in London on 9 October and then the full marathon in Valencia on 4 December. Please give me an extra push by donating to Mind, which is where my mother was most unique and struggled the most. 

Thank you profoundly, 

Erik
