Story

John's London Marathon Challenge 

Running a marathon has always been on my "bucket list" of challenges to complete!  

10Ks have, until fairly recently, been my limit however during "Lockdown" I found road running to be a great way to find some headspace as well as keeping fit while the gyms were closed!  

Over the months I found myself covering longer distances and different run routes and working up to half marathon distance.  

When the opportunity arose through work to secure a place for the London Marathon 2023 I jumped at the chance.  It is great to be fundraising for Alzheimer's Research UK.

Alzheimer's Research UK is the UKs leading dementia research charity, dedicated to diagnosis prevention, treatment and cure.Backed by passionate scientists and supporters, Alzheimer's Research UK is challenging the way people think about dementia, bringing together the people and organisations who can speed up progress, and investing in research to make life-changing breakthroughs possible.

My marathon training started in earnest in January 2023 and now, with less than 6 weeks to go to the big day, I'll (try to remember to) post weekly updates on my progress.

In the meantime I'd be hugely grateful for any sponsorship money you can spare for this great charity.  

Thank you

John 😊 🏃‍♂️
