Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm very lucky to have received a ballot place for the London marathon at the third time of entering but still wanted to mark this huge occasion, my first ever marathon, by raising money for a local charity. At the beginning of 2018 I spent a lot of time on Talbot Butler ward in Northampton general hospital visiting two family friends who sadly both lost their battle with cancer.  The gift packs the Lewis Foundation provide every week contain everything from essentials like toothpaste and razors to books and games, they also come with a smile and a conversation for anybody in need of that too. Their kindness and dedication is growing to reach more hospitals and more patients and I would love to be able to help fund more of these packs for adults receiving cancer treatment. 

John and Pete, I know you'll be with me every step of the way talking Cobblers to get me through those miles.
