Unfortunately I have had to drop out of this years event due to injury, I hope to be able to take part in a future event.

The London Marathon has always been something I wanted to do and I am very lucky to be able to take part this year for such a good cause.

The challenge however is that I was signed up for it on deadline day so only have 6 weeks to train for a marathon after 2 years of lockdown and injuries!

I am doing this with some as part of #TeamBestWesternGB in partnership with #Shelter and your sponsorship would be much appreciated.

If I reach my target of £2,000.00 I have promised the kids I will run in fancy dress!

Best Western Hotels and Resorts GB (part of BWH Group) are proud to be continuing their support and partnership with Shelter in 2021 and beyond, because they believe that everyone deserves a safe and comfortable place to call home.

The money we raise will help fund Shelters helpline, which provides vital advice and support to anyone struggling with bad housing and homelessness, 365 days a year.

Each call answered by an expert Shelter Adviser can be the difference between someone keeping and losing their home. However, as our country is in the depths of a housing emergency, the demand is overwhelming. Shelter can currently only answer 1 in 3 calls to their helpline.

With thousands of people seeking help and another family in England being made homeless every 11 minutes, every donation from Best Western members and their guests makes a difference.

Just £10 can answer a call to the Helpline, so your donation really will make a difference.
