After five years of diligently trying to get fit and healthy, I finally feel like I am where I want to be and running the London Marathon is the ultimate celebration of that! When I was 28 someone jokingly teased me 'Pips, you'd NEVER be able to run a marathon lol' and that stuck with me so here I am to prove all the blighters wrong and smash it with every ounce of my being! I'm ridiculously excited to cross that finish line and couldn't be prouder of running for Pumping Marvellous, an amazing charity I became close to when I wrote a Christmas single for them last year - take a peek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFOzpn1LqKk. Here's more about this amazing charity and what they do -

The core activities and strategy of the Pumping Marvellous Foundation are driven by the needs of heart failure patients, carers and family communities we serve. We get to the real crux of the problems, the problems that patients tell us they have. Our communities are large and we have superb interactions with them, we run the largest Facebook page dedicated to Heart Failure globally so we fully understand the needs and challenges they face. We develop and distribute patient information to the vast majority of NHS Heart Failure Teams in the UK.
