Story

This incredibly inspiring and dedicated team of Slimming World members and Consultants, will celebrate their weight loss achievements by running the 2023 London Marathon on Sunday 23rd April. They will be raising money for three incredible charities Cancer Research UK, the Irish Cancer Society and Alzheimer's Research UK through Slimming World's own charity SMILES.

I am so excited to be running the 2023 London Marathon as part of the Slimming World Team for Cancer Research UK. 

I joined Slimming World back in 2001 and lost over 3 stone, over the past 21 years of being at target I have enjoyed running but not on a regular basis, however during the first lockdown of 2020 was when I started AGAIN! With the support of my husband Paul it quickly became a habit and I have continued to run week in week out. 

I was so pleased when I received the phone call earlier this month to say that I had been chosen for the Slimming World London Marathon team 2023 and even more so when told I would be raising money for Cancer Research UK, a cause that is very close to and affected each and everyone of us in some way. 

Any support you can offer is greatly appreciated. 

Let the training commence 😝
