Two weeks today we will be assisting Simone in her dream to take part in the London Marathon 2025, raising funds for the charity Muscular Dystrophy UK. They have been very supportive over the years and for the whole team in our training. TCS London Marathon only have ten Assisted Wheelchair Team places.

Four family members will be taking turns pushing Simone along the whole 26.2 miles.

To everyone who has already kindly donated to our charity, thank you. We only have 25% of our target to reach and with just 2 weeks to go we appreciate any donation you can spare. Thank you very much for reading and sharing our post.

Muscles. We use them to move. Walk, eat, smile, cry. Pump blood around our bodies. To breathe in and out. Our muscles matter.

By fundraising for Muscular Dystrophy UK, I’m helping to fund world-class research into effective treatments, and life changing support for the 110,000 people in the UK living with a muscle-wasting condition.

All donations and support are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
