Story


Here i am again, London marathon 2023, as many of you know i was meant to be running the 22 marathon, unfortunately for me 2 days before the marathon i got really unwell and couldn’t take part and had to watch the marathon from my bed on tv, this was not how i expected it to go, HOWEVER! i’m back with independent age once again to take on next years marathon and have even more drive and excitement as i have got to redeem myself, i can’t thank them enough for letting me jump onto next years marathon. A big goal of mine on my bucket list was to do the London marathon aged 18, but things didn’t swing my way so i say why not 19, that’s life sometimes. anyway, keep a look out for any fund raisers coming up, events etc… 

The charity I have chosen to run for is Independent Age, our aim is to reduce poverty, tackle inadequate care and combat loneliness. Last year, over 1 million people accessed our services through contact in person, phone calls and more. I'm hoping that with the two and a half thousand pounds I will have raised I can help lonely and low income house holds get to the help they need and deserve. 
 

Thank you for donating... see you on the start line.
