London Marathon Here I Come!!

Since I was in school I have wanted to run the London Marathon. I entered the ballot for 10 years in a row and never got a place!
Then in 2019 after falling in love with running all over again I signed up with a group of friends to run the Paris Marathon. Unfortunately this then got postponed again and again and then finally cancelled due to COVID. Now I'll be back in the UK for the Paris Marathon, but one of my running friends got a ballot place in the London Marathon.
I had given up on entering the ballot, but looked at charity options and was extremely lucky to be offered a Golden Ticket by ABF The Soldiers Charity to run London in October 2021!!
As a military Family this charity is very close to our hearts and I hope we never have to call on them personally. But they do support families and veterans in their time of need.
I hope you will join me in fundraising for this amazing charity.
Thank you!
I've created this page because I want to make a difference. I'm inspired by the work of ABF The Soldiers' Charity and wanted to support them by raising money as part of my participation in Virgin Money London Marathon 2020. Please help me help them by giving whatever you can using the 'donate' button. The more people that know about ABF The Soldiers' Charity, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
