Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the 2022 London Marathon to raise money that will support people when they are in crisis. Having been lucky enough to have worked for this organisation early on In my career, I know the fantastic work their staff do to support residents when they are at their most vulnerable. I truly believe that in the 21st century everyone has the right to be safe, secure, warm and fed and this charity has this at its heart.

I am not a natural runner but have always dreamed of running the London Marathon. Throughout the recent pandemic and through the introduction of home working   my life like many others had become more sedentary. This had naturally led to weight gain and I wanted to do set myself a goal that would help get me moving again. I have been gradually building up my running since Sept 2021 working on distance and speed.

I hope you can help me achieve my goal of getting to the end of the London Marathon and raising as much as I can for this great cause. 

Do come along on the day and show your support, it’s a great day out.

Notting Hill Genesis (NHG) works in the community, providing homes for lower-income households. This is our primary purpose, and everything else we do supports that aim. Money raised through fundraising contributes to our hardship fund, helping residents during times of hardship and crisis. Sadly, many of our residents struggle to meet basic food and energy costs or pay for essential household items such as beds, fridges, and cookers. This is often due to vulnerability, ill-health, family bereavement or unexpected gaps in benefit claims. Our hardship fund supports around 500 NHG residents per year during these difficult times, with grants to help ease stress and suffering.
