Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

When this journey started back in January 2020 who would have predicted that the London marathon would not go ahead due to a pandemic? It was inconceivable that our city would become a ghost town whilst everyone stayed indoors to keep safe.

Throughout 2020 it became clear that running was going to become even more important to me: to keep fit both mentally and physically. 

And now there is light at the end of the tunnel and I am looking forward with excitement - and a fair amount of trepidation - to the 2021 marathon.

Charities, including my chosen charity Wellbeing of Women, have taken a hard blow, raising fewer funds last year due to the pandemic, with charity shops closed and most charity events cancelled. So it is important, now more than ever, to raise money for all the crucial work they are doing for women's health.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
