Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I first ran the London marathon in 2003, 17 years later I have decided to do it again for a brilliant cause, The Calvert Trust, Lake District. I know that this will be a big challenge for me but nothing compared to the challenges that the people I’m raising money for face everyday. Supporting this charity will help contribute to activities for children, adults and their families to explore and enjoy the outdoors in the beautiful Lake District

A visit to The Calvert Trust can bring positive transformation by instilling greater self-esteem, stronger self- confidence and a more determined sense of purpose through completing outdoor activities.

Fitting training alongside full time work is proving a challenge especially as the training app I am using states that I will need to run 695 kilometres before Marathon day!




About the charity

The Lake District Calvert Trust provides residential outdoor activity courses for people of all ages with physical, sensory, learning, behavioural and/or mental disabilities. Its mission is to challenge disability through outdoor adventure. Pioneering equipment adaptations, and intensive, instructor-led activity programmes (that include climbing, abseiling, canoeing, sailing, horse/trap driving, archery, orienteering and paragliding), provide an environment whose aims are to teach, challenge, motivate, engender confidence in ability, promote independence, and foster integration. All instructors are highly trained and specialist qualified, and the facilities are specially adapted and fully accessible to all. The Lake District Calvert Trust provides a unique and life-changing experience for those with disabilities, who are encouraged to believe that it’s what you CAN do that counts.
