Flora London Marathon 2009 · 26 April 2009 ·

Chickenshed is about connection, creativity, and belonging. For over fifty years, we’ve brought people together through theatre, creating space for everyone to thrive. Over 60% of the young people we support face isolation due to disadvantage, and together we’re changing that

Story

Hi All,

Dont ask me why, but i have decided to run the London Marathon this year. I will be running and mostly crawling the 26.2 miles from Blackheath to B'ham Pallace on the 26th April and hoping to raise as much money for charity in doing so. The charity i am running for is called 'Chickenshed' and helps people of all backgrounds, upbringings, abilities and cultures to participate in theatrical productions up and down the country as well as internationally. More information on the important work done by this charity can be found on the website, but needless to say the cause is a worthwhile one and they rely on a huge amount of generousity from people like you to operate year in, year out!

Marathon training has commenced and stories of 'the wall' are already tormenting me in my sleep. If you don't like me consider the donation as payment for torture, i need not provide a reason for those who do like me as im sure this will not apply to anyone.

Your donations would be much appreciated and i welcome anyone to come watch me collapse over the finish line in April.

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
