Story

Greetings friends, family and those here excited to watch me struggle! 👋🏼

I am finally committing to running the London Marathon on Sunday 23rd April 2023 and I will need your help! 🏃🏻‍♂️ 😅

I am running for Team Shelter who have given me the opportunity of a charity place. Shelter do amazing work to prevent homelessness, support those on the streets and provides everyone with resources and initiatives to ensure everyone has a right to a home and fair housing. Your donation could help get someone off the street, secure better rights for renters or contribute towards levelling up areas across the country via more social housing.

With the cost of living challenges I know this comes at a difficult time for people to donate but hopefully it also serves as a reminder for those less fortunate who could really do with a helping hand. Any donations would be massively appreciated 🤗

This will be the furthest I have ever ran (and I don’t intend on breaking that record anytime soon) after a couple of half marathons and relentless 5Ks out of lockdown boredom.

I’m going to need to be really motivated and make my training plan more exciting so any and all support you can give me along the way will really help towards my goal.

Keep your eyes peeled for fundraiser events coming - I am prepared to work and grovel for this cash 😂

My goal is to raise at least £750 by the end of Jan and then power through to £2k and beyond by the time the big day rolls around. 💰

If you don’t know where to start; feel free to donate a £1 for every KM you expect me to complete on the day! FYI the marathon is 26.2 miles or 42km so I’m going with the metric system 😉 donators will receive a gratitude pint at some point if I make it out alive… 🍻

Thanks for checking out my page and hope to see you there on the day! 🤞🏼
