I am running 26.2 miles in the London Marathon on the 3rd of October 2021 for Penny Brohn UK - A fantastic charity who have their national centre located in Bristol.
I stumbled back into running during the first lockdown of 2020 during the 5km challenges in aid of the NHS. Although I may be considered fairly quick across a rugby pitch or a headless chicken on the football pitch I have never participated in a road race, let alone a local park run! I thrive on challenging myself and it is a real privilege to chuck myself into the deep end and represent Penny Brohn UK in the worlds greatest marathon!
Penny Brohn aims to bring improved health and enrichment to everyone affected by cancer. Whether they're dealing with a first-time diagnosis, or are further on in their cancer journey and are looking for ways to live well post-treatment, Penny Brohn UK want to help everyone find the right physical and emotional support for them to build their resilience.
'The Bristol Whole Life Approach' - gives anyone affected by cancer the practical, emotional and social support they need to improve their quality of life and to manage the fear and uncertainty that a cancer diagnosis may bring.With your support the national centre can provide more live changing support to people who need their help the most.
Your donations will drag me around the course on the 3rd of Oct but also motivate me on all the long training miles I have ahead of me! Thank you for supporting my challenge and Penny Brohn UK!
