London Marathon 2023
Jodie Shaw is raising money for Get Kids Going!
Story
Officially deferred to April 2023 due to injury preventing me from taking part in 2022 and I have the remaining £500 to raise. Please help me ❤️
Original message :
Ok , so I know I said I’d never run a marathon but clearly, I lied. Well, I say lied, but when I started running (not even 2 years ago) I genuinely couldn’t have imagined being able or wanting to. I always said if I was going to do a marathon then I wanted it to be London. Go big or go home and all that.
I knew a ballot place was going to be impossible so I applied to 2 charities that mean something to me. Bowel Cancer UK who I ran the Great North Run for last year (for Steph, my inspiration forever to help)
and Get Kids Going who I ran the London Landmarks for on the 4th of April. And Steph, my offer to walk to the end of the earth to make you better still stands ❤️
Whilst my official place has been given to me by Get Kids Going, I've set my target so that I can support both of these wonderful charities. And if by some sheer miracle I raise more than this, any extra will go to the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity in honour of Sharon.
- GKG are a small and wonderful charity that supports disabled children to be able to participate in sport.
- Bowel Cancer UK are the UK’s leading bowel cancer charity, supporting, campaigning, funding, and educating people with the aim that they can create a future where nobody dies from this disease.
As well as the marathon , I will also be running several events to support my fundraising (and maybe some more in between)
