Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I set out to complete four full marathons over a twelve month period and by completing the Virgin London Marathon on April 21st I achieved my goal. This was my my sixteenth marathon since my first in 2006 and the fourteenth for Acorns. The three I have already completed as part of the challenge were Milton Keynes, Edinburgh and Berlin where I achieved a personal best of 04.22.

 

I am always proud to wear the Acorns vest when I run as I know that this charity is renowned for the great work they do, and that every penny raised by me goes to a great cause.

So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
