London Marathon 2022 · 2 October 2022 ·

We work with disadvantaged, disabled and vulnerable young people aged 4-18 across the UK. Our tennis programmes are designed to enhance the lives of these children, many of whom haven’t had the opportunity to play tennis before. By offering free sessions in school and community settings, we help to break down potential barriers to participation, such as financial limitations or lack of opportunity. We use tennis to tackle socio-economic issues, including poor mental health, low self-esteem, high levels of inactivity, crime/anti-social behaviour and low aspirations.

Story

Hello everyone. My name is Luisa. I am a palliative care nurse, a columnist for a magazine  and mother to two wonderful children.Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am very happy to have the opportunity to run the London Marathon this year in support of an incredible charity.


“Give it your Max” supports vulnerable children by helping them overcome, through sports, issues such as poor mental health and self-esteem, obesity and inactivity, anti-social behaviour and crime, and low aspiration levels. Every child, no matter their background, should have access to sports, as this can help them tackle these increasingly important issues, and reach their full potential.


Please help me support this great cause, which enhances the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable children across the UK. I would be very grateful for any donation to help this charity, and their initiatives, make a real difference to the lives of as many children as possible.
