Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon 2023 · 14 May 2023 ·
Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page
On Sunday 14 May 2023 I will be taking on the challenge of running in the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon to raise as much money as I can for a charity close to my heart,, namely the Robert Sinclair Davidson Foundation.
The charity was set up by Robert himself a few months before the cruel degenerative Motor Neurone’s Disease took Robert’s life at the young age of 34. Although sadly I never got to know Robert I understand he bore the physical & emotional pain of his illness with bravery & tenacity. His parents Suzanne & Michael have since become close friends of mine & my husband Richard, fighting each day to ensure their amazing son’s legacy lives on.
The foundation provides vital support in many ways to young families in the desperately tragic situation following a terminal diagnosis
After running London in 2017 I vowed that would be my one & only marathon. However the combination of discovering all the amazing work of Robert’s charity, watching MND ravage the body of the wonderful athlete Rob Burrow and through him getting a glimpse of what Robert & his family had to endure when asked by them to run the Leeds marathon how could I say no!
So I am now clocking up the miles each week in training for one more and definitely my final marathon! Follow my journey on FB!
So please support me if you can and help me raise as much money as I can for this truly wonderful cause.
Thank you so much
Lots and lots of love to you all
