Hello and thank you for visiting my 2023 London Marathon fundraising page.

This is my second Marathon and although I really enjoyed my first one, I am 6 years older this time and my legs are definitely not what they were!

Nevertheless, I am really looking forward to being a small part of the day and hopefully reaching my target of £2000 for the wonderful charity Mind.

I think we all know someone who is suffering with their mental health. Thankfully it is no longer a taboo subject and it finally being recognised, discussed and treated. However, it stills needs our full attention and further research to improve lives in the future. 

To quote Mind…

“We won't give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets support and respect.”

And for me that is what the London Marathon is all about, not giving up, being supported and respecting everyone involved from runners, to the event staff, charities and spectators. 

The London Marathon is a an incredible day, unique in its own right and I will never ever forget the incredible support and camaraderie on the day and what better incentive to run than to raise money for a wonderful charity too.

Please donate and give as much or as a little as you can- every little helps.

Thanks in advance,
