We are planning to run the length of the Central Line  (50 miles / 80 kilometres) from Epping to West Ruislip in one go post Lockdown. Here's why:

Lady Garden Foundation promotes awareness for gynaecological Cancers & raises funds for the Royal Marsden - where Emily has been treated at least once a week since 2019. 

Please give £5! The purpose of this is awareness as much as it is donations, so if you were able to share with friends, family, work and across social media, it would mean the absolute world.
