Event: London Marathon 2024, on 21 April 2024
In memory of Courtney Riglin
The London Marathon is a truly iconic event attracting athletes of all abilities from around the globe. Every year, thousands of runners choose to take on this fantastic challenge to raise vital funds for charity.

Story

I am taking on the challenge of running the London Marathon on the 21st April 2024 in honour of my close friends Kim & Stuart’s daughter and George,Maisie & Lexis sister Courtney Riglin, who sadly passed away in April 2007 just 3 days before her 7th birthday.

I have chosen to raise funds in aid of the Shooting Star Hospice as this charity holds a very special place in the hearts of Courtney’s parents, family and friends for the care and support they provided during her fight against Medulloblastoma, an aggressive cancerous brain tumour.

Courtney would now be 23 and to keep her memory alive I am hoping to raise as much money as possible so that the Shooting Star Hospice can continue to provide the vital care and support to babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families across west London and Surrey.

I know times are hard but any donation will be a massive support and gratefully appreciated. If you are not able to donate you can still support me and the charity by sharing this page to your family/friends & colleagues.

Thank you all in advance for your support
