Thanks for taking the time to visit this JustGiving page where I am raising money to help Oxfam to continue its amazing work in Britain and around the world by running the London marathon . Yes, that's THE London marathon on 27 April 2025 - and gulp , that's not long away is it, so I REALLY do need your help!

To be honest I was not expecting to be running a marathon this year, but by sheer luck (combined with a little bit of wishful thinking) I had already started training in January (just in case). Now that I have a place confirmed though it all seems a lot more real and scary.

If we can get anywhere near that fundraising target of £2 000 for Oxfam, I promise to run the whole 42Km / 26.2 miles as fast as I can with a huge smile on my face. If we smash the target, I'll even dye my hair Oxfam green so you can spot me on tv !
