Story

I decided I wanted to run a marathon before I turn 30 (this December!!) so I am going to be running the Lisbon marathon in October 2024.

I’m raising money for the NICLT for the life changing work they do. They are the only charity in the world to charter their own plane to Santapark Lapland. On the day, their 220 seat plane is a flying hospital, as they have a Consultant Paediatrician and full medical team with them. Sadly for some of the children on board, this is the last trip they will make, as they are suffering from terminal illnesses or life limiting conditions. The charity create a day full of joy, smiles and excitement, creating wonderful memories that the children and families treasure forever.

Please consider donating to this very worthy cause to help continue making memories that will last a lifetime for these families.
