Virtual London Marathon 2021 · 3 October 2021 ·

Weldmar Hospicecare needs to raise £26,000 a day to continue the specialist end of life care we provide in Dorset, both in the comfort of patient's own homes and at our IPU in Dorchester. 20% of our costs are met by the NHS, the rest comes from the generosity of our local community.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I started running during the first lockdown as a way to keep fit and to spend time with my son Oscar. I pushed him in his running pushchair and he took it easy whilst telling me to go faster! After three months I had become a keen runner and was fitter than I had ever been. 

Next thing I knew and after a couple of beers on a Saturday night I had signed up for the Virtual London Marathon. This involves running a full marathon distance on the same day as the London Marathon on 3rd October 2021. This is much further than I have ever run before and with two young children training is going to be a battle in itself. With running, walking, hobbling and determination I will make the distance.

I've chosen to run for Weldmar because they are a fantastic local charity. They have previously looked after and supported my family for which we are forever grateful.
