Story

Georgia and Louis are on a madness. 

Here's what happened - Georgia was booked onto the Hackney Half on May 21st for Shelter, but messed up her dates and couldn't make the race. So she booked another half marathon in Nice (because obviously thats the next best thing to Hackney) on April 30th, and offered her spot in Hackney to Louis. 

Then Georgia got a call back from ADHD UK who she had signed up to be an ambassador for at a 10k training race - and they offered her a place at the London Landmarks Half Marathon on April 2nd. At the same damn time Shelter sent an email offering another place. So they both signed up for that too!

Now, Georgia and Louis are two people, running two marathons between them (in two half marathons each), across two months in two countries. Things definitely snowballed. 

Alongside fundraising for Shelter UK - Georgia will also be representing ADHD-UK at both of her races. If you would like - you can also donate directly to ADHD-UK via the QR code in the gallery, please include reference to the challenge.

Georgia's original post read:

Thanks for visiting my JustGiving Fundraiser Page. I'm running the Hackney half...

1) For Shelter: Because everyone deserves a safe and secure home. The work Shelter do has never been more critical. 

2) For Zandie: I'm running in Zandie's memory. When I train I hear her voice telling me to keep going. Shelter also gave us great advice and support in securing her son's home. 

3) For me: Since getting my ADHD diagnosis I've found daily exercise is a game changer for my mood and routine. Having this goal has helped me stay committed to my health and wellbeing.
