Welcome to our 2020 London marathon page!

Story

Thanks for your support with my London Marathon 2021 JustGiving challenge!

Donations will be sent direct to the charity in a fast and secure way from this page. Its efficient, saves time and cuts costs for the charity.

This will be my third marathon after running London back in 2008, and more recently Edinburgh in 2016. I'm really looking forward to running in London again - the atmosphere last time was amazing!

Update August 2021: Well, things didn't quite to plan in 2020 did they?! Having the marathon cancelled in 2020 seems like a very first world problem in comparison to many of the events and tragedies of the last 18 months, but like most things, it has had a wider impact than simply not running a race. Charities like Activity Alliance rely heavily on the support and donations from mass fundraising events like London Marathon, so having it cancelled has really impacted their ability to deliver the excellent support services they provide. I'm hoping we can make up for lost time and smash my target!

On a personal level, I have kept training through the period, backing off the miles for the longer runs, but maintaining my running fitness and building back up the miles in preparation for the big day! I feel like I have been training forever for this race, so it will be great to get on the start line and 'enjoy' the big day.

Thanks for all your help and support, it is much appreciated!
