Story

I'm running London Marathon! 

9/8/21 - London Marathon is now less than 8 weeks to go (!?) so I thought it was time to kick start my fundraising page again. As you may know I was originally meant to run London Marathon in April 2020 before Covid hit. Training had been going well, so whilst much bigger things were happening in the world this was still pretty rubbish. After a rest I then took on the virtual London Marathon in October 2020 with Alex dragging me along.

I'm now training for the big day again on the streets of London on October 3rd.

Training has been... tough. It's hot, I've slowed down, struggled to find motivation and Covid stopped me running for 3 weeks BUT however long it takes I will make it across the finish line.

Despite all the stop, start I am remain incredibly proud to be part of Team Young Lives and raising money to support children and young people with cancer. If you can donate I would really appreciate it and can see first hand the amazing work being done by the charity to help families find the strength to face everything cancer throws at them.

Thanks,

Helen x
