Ellie Quine is raising money for SMART

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hello All,

I hope you and your families are all well and looking forward to the start of spring!

As most of you will already know, I am running (or hobbling) the London Marathon at the end of April.

I thought I had got the whole marathon thing out of my system last year when I completed the Brighton Marathon..... but apparently not!!

This year I am running to raise money for my friend Amelia's fantastic charity 'SMART'. SMART is a mental health charity, offering those suffering from mental illness meaningful activity and training as a way to rebuild lives, giving them purpose, confidence and skills. They recognised the importance of friends, music, laughter and fun. Have a look at their website, www.smartlondon.org.uk

Training is going well and I completed the Brighton Half Marathon quicker than I managed last year... even with a sore throat, temperature and a gammy foot!.

I totally understand if you are unable to help financially, but I would appreciate your support in another way.... I would love any 'motivational music' suggestions you may have. My current 'Power Songs' include 'Baggy Trousers' by Madness and 'Land Down Under' by Men at Work - both quality tracks, but I feel my playlist may need some refreshing.

I will, as I'm sure you are all aware, be dedicating my run to my lovely mum and dad and, although you have all helped me raise money in the past for Cancer Research UK, I know that SMART is a charity that my parents would have been very proud to see me supporting.

If you feel you are able to help then please visit my just giving page at https://www.justgiving.com/Ellie-Quine1/

Also, if anyone can think of any other fundraising ideas.... please let me know!!

Best wishes... and many many thanks to you all.
