Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Im pretty sure a midlife crisis has bought me here, along with Covid - it’s time to get out, do the things you thought you never could, life is too short, just go for it!

Usually I am the supporter of my Husband, Nick,  who regularly participates in all these events.  Having a minor heart condition I’ve actively avoided any strenuous exercise for most of my life and honestly never believed I would be capable of running the London marathon, (or even a half marathon)

I’m not planning to do it in any great time, the plan is just to get round the course in one piece!  This is a one time only event for me, so I plan on wearing something special to celebrate London!

The Charity I will be raising funds for are Regain.  We’ve been involved with the charity for a number of years, and I would love to raise as much money as I can for them, they really do some incredible work!

I’d love to have you on board to support me during my journey, reality’s now firmly setting in as I look at my training plan and wonder how on earth I’m going to manage couch to 26 miles over the next coming months!

About the charity

Regain is the only charitable organisation dedicated solely to improving the independence of all British men & women who have become tetraplegic as a result of a sporting or leisure accident. A tetraplegic is unable to walk and has limited reach & dexterity because use of the arms is severely impaired.
