I've never wanted to run a marathon.. A weird start to my page raising money to run the London Marathon, I know..!

It all started during a gentle run when I offered to help a friend with company on her training runs for a marathon, and me being me with my 'all or nothing' 'go hard or go home' attitude to life, ending up suggesting I run the actual marathon with her... So here we are.

I am honoured to have the opportunity to raise money for so many fantastic charities at once, while challenging myself mentally and physically!

I will be running the London Marathon on 23rd April 2023 for to raise money for the Zurich Community Trust (ZCT).
Since 1973, ZCT has awarded over £90 million in funding to charities, causes and community programmes all over the UK and overseas. Their current national charity partners are
1) Barnardos - supporting children and young people's mental health, 
2) Dementia UK - supporting those living with dementia, their loved ones and carers,
3) Magic Breakfast - supporting child hunger. Each national partner receives £300,000 over two years, so any fundraising will really help provide that promised support.
Each year, they also support over 60 local charity partners through funding, free access to learning resources and skill sharing through employee volunteers.

Like many families in the UK ours has felt the effects of the creul disease that is dementia, so fundraising for this charity is particularly close to my heart. The added bonus being that other charities - local and national, will also benefit from your kind and generous donations.

Thank you so much for your support.
