Welcome! I've pledged to run the London Marathon this year in support of the fantastic charity, Family Action!

The team at Family Action provide financial support, advice and education - through over 200 services - to families in difficulty and stress - it is a vital lifeline to those who use their services.

At my workplace, NewDay, we have supported Family Action for nearly 10 years raising thousands in that time and I hope to do my small part in continuing that fundraising effort. NewDay will fund match every £ you donate

For me personally I last ran a marathon in 2007 in Nottingham (on a bet!) with no idea what I was signing up for nor how to train...

...so 17 years later I'm finally ready to attempt marathon no.2 and hopefully approaching it with a bit more sense! I am a happy member of Ealing Eagles Running Club so am getting lots of advice (and company) on my training plan.

Check out my Strava feed if you're interested in my training, but mostly, please donate generously, it will have a big impact and be hugely appreciated

Thank you!

Alex
