Sandra's Story

2023 is the year I finally achieve my ambition to run the London Marathon. This is something I have dreamt of doing for a long time and I am finally being able to run it with my soon to be daughter in law. 

I have previously run the Brighton Marathon twice and the London Landmarks Half Marathon which were all great experiences but believe this will be greatest experience of them all.

When the training gets tough, the knowledge that I'm raising funds for Young Lives v Cancer will provide the push I need.

All donations make a difference x

Helen's Story

If you asked me three years ago to run a mile I would have laughed in  your face at the idea, but then lockdown happened, and it spurred me on to start Couch to 5k. In the last 3 years I’ve had a love hate relationship with running and still don't consider myself a runner.

 I’ve completed two half marathons but now is the time to really challenge myself (probably the biggest understatement I’ll ever make)  

So on the 23^rd April 2023 – along with Sandra we will be running in the London Marathon, one of the greatest running events in the world.  Although I’m extremely anxious and nervous I am excited, and I know there is a lot of hard work to put in before then.  

What is keeping me motivated is knowing we are raising money for this incredible charity and anything you can donate is greatly appreciated for such an amazing charity. 

Thank you x
