Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. My brother Richard ran the London marathon last year and he inspired me to have a once in a lifetime go at running a marathon myself.  Having become a grandma in 2021, I knew I needed to have a focus of something that is just for me. My usual go tos would be cake, theatre and reading but they won’t keep me ‘healthy’ so, having been a bit sporty as a kid, I decided to give the marathon a try - if not now, then when?!

I know I won’t do this again, my rather wrecked body won’t want to, so I hope you might be able to support me this one time. I work for Safe Families, an amazing UK wide charity offering hope and belonging to families who are finding life tough and need a bit of support to keep them going. We can all empathise with that at different times in our lives. Thank you for getting to this point and considering donating, I am very grateful.  You will help me to keep putting one foot in front of the other on 29th May! And you will be helping more families to receive love and friendship through the work of Safe Families across the country. Thank you.
