I’m back baby! In my ‘thin’ wardrobe and motivated to run London this year for the first (and probably only) time to support Help&Care who do so much for our local community in Bournemouth. 

I was aware of Help&Care because they provide services and support to people locally who want to take more control of their health and well-being but the money raised is particularly going to support ‘Roots’ their gardening service. Roots supports older and disabled people who can no longer manage gardening ensuring the garden can remain a place of pleasure rather than a cause of anxiety. Roots Gardening Service is delivered by volunteers who are recovering from mental health issues - you can read more about and how impactful their work is here:

London is the big one- a race I have watched many times and often thought about running during my more active phases 😂Obviously I’m just looking to get round the course in one piece but secretly I’m hoping to finish with a sub-4 hour time. Shh, don’t tell anyone!

Many thanks for taking the time to read my story and for supporting Help&Care.
