Yes its true, im going to be running the London Marathon in 2026!! I never thought I would be saying those words. And you probably didn't either. From being a real life couch potato to running the worlds most famous marathon , I must be insane!!!

I'm running in memory of my mother-in-law Jennifer Collett to raise funds for such a great charity that took amazing care of her before she sadly passed away.

My running journey has only come about in the last 18 months.

I'm now a regular park runner at Leicester Victoria after completing couch to 5k , I completed a couple of events at Alton Towers and more recently the wolf run. This all came about after losing over 6 stone with slimming world. (and maybe another stone to go to be in prime condition)

Training has already started as I'm booked onto a half marathon in October.

Any donations however big or small would be greatly appreciated.

Please dig deep and support LOROS as I take on the prestigious London Marathon event in 2026. LOROS cares for more than 2,500 patients and their families across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland each year. Your help makes all the difference.

Thanks for any support you give to an amazing charity.

Andy
