On Sunday 3rd October 2021 our incredible team of runners are taking part in the prestigious Virgin Money London Marathon to help end the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders!
Story
I'm FINALLY running the London Marathon, this year!😃
As a single mum, working part-time, training for a marathon will definitely be a challenge! But, I'm determined to do it. I've wanted to take part in the London Marathon since I first started running back in 2012! I have a running buggy, and heaps of motivation!!
I was lucky enough to secure a ballot place in the London Marathon 2021 (after EIGHT YEARS of entering!), so I don't 'need' to run for, or raise funds for, a charity. But, I want to help and support others, so I have chosen to run for Beat, the Eating Disorder charity. I hate asking for sponsorship, I find it really cringey, but would really appreciate anything you can spare, please - a penny or a pound, it all helps, and it will really help me dig deep when things get tough!! Thank you so much :) x
