It feels like a life time ago that I signed up to run the London and Manchester Marathons in April 2020.  As a result of the pandemic they were initially moved to October 2020 before being cancelled entirely. Like so many others I ran the virtual London Marathon last October, completing a 26.2 mile run on my own. Now, with life starting to return to normal, I will be running the real thing in London on Sunday 3 October 2021 followed by Manchester one week later. Your donations towards my efforts to raise funds for the Lord Mayor’s Appeal are massively appreciated.

The appeal supports four fantastic organisations so please help us raise as much as possible for these great causes.The Lord Mayors Appeal Supports: Place2Be, OnSide Youth Zones, Samaritans, and The Duke of Edinburgh's Award.
