Inspired by my husbands marathon efforts and the shear joy and atmosphere we experienced watching him in October I decided to join the ballot not expecting to get a place! The training has been tough and I’ve been injured so am not feeling as strong as I’d have liked but am going to give it my best shot and am so grateful to have got a place! It’s amazing what the body is capable of with some grit and determination- hoping that will take me over the finish line!

I am taking on the London Marathon 2023 for WeSeeHope!
