Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my London Marathon 2018 fundraising page.

In 2015 my dad passed away very suddenly with no questions answered or no justice served. My dad was just 39 years old, barely lived any of his life and wasn't able to see my sister or I grow up. If you knew or even heard about my dad, you would know that he was the life and soul of the party and that is one of the many reasons why he was and is loved so much.

The nurses and doctors at St Thomas' intensive care unit looked after my dad in his last few days, making sure he was comfortable and peaceful. 

The nurses and doctors work tirelessly every day and night for not just the patients but the families also and I cannot thank them enough for what they did for my dad. They work their hardest to save lives every single day. Sometimes, that just isn't possible but they stay postive and never give up and that is why this charity is so close to mine and my families hearts.

As most of you know me, I do like a cheeky prosecco once in a while so please think of me not drinking, running in the cold and dark for many months! 

My dad is such an inspiration to me, he always taught me never to give up and always push until the end. And those two motivations will keep me going right until the end! I hope I make him proud by conquering this huge challenge. So please dig deep ❤️💙

Lots and lots of love Lily xxxx
