Story

Hello,

I am running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in London to raise money for Veolia's partner charity Groundworks. More detail below:

I am raising funds to help Groundwork reconnect people in communities following the lockdowns over this past year. They will be running events in two country parks in Hastings and Bexhill to bring people together.What Groundwork want to do is run a season of free events in the parks, aiming at communities that have struggled most during the pandemic. These will focus on health and wellbeing, including open air fitness sessions, walks and talks, conservation days, foraging explorations and grow-your-own training. Thank you so much for your support to help our local communities.

I've never run a half marathon before and its double the distance I've ever run before, so this will require a lot of dedication and training on my part! Any donations, whatever the value will be very much appreciated. If I reach the target of £300, Veolia will generously donate another £150 on top of that!

There will be cakes for all donators!
