Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page – we know there are an awful lot of great causes around, so we really appreciate every view, share, shout-out and donation!
Here we are again then. A new year and a new addition for Team Matthews for this years London Marathon. Just two years after our last escapade Goose has dug out her trainers to join Molly, Ruth and Winston.
After failing to get ballot places we thought we’d just try again next year but when SJA offered us places we had to say yes! There is also no question that Molly loves a marathon; Rut would get major FOMO despite juggling her final year, dissertation and exams and Goose put a marathon on her Gap Year bucket list and has 6 months to tick it off.
We also know that St John Ambulance is a fabulous charity and our lives and communities wouldn’t be the same without their tireless work and commitment. In terms of in our everyday lives SJA are present at; all our organised races; all the festivals Molly works at; at Ruth’s uni events such as varsity and even do all the training qualifications in first aid which Ruth and Goose have completed (along with thousands of others)!
As we said back in 2017, our fundraising mission is once again to prove to SJA that their presence doesn’t go unnoticed and is highly valued.
Fast forward five months and we’re writing this with having just completed a 20 miler and with 4 weeks to go.
Any donation that you can give, big or small will really help us get around on the big day and also enable St John Ambulance to continue all their good work and in return we promise to smile from start to finish of the 26.2 miles!
