I am taking on the 2025 London Marathon for Sense!

I have cheered at the London Marathon for a number of years and every time I have felt that this is something I really wanted to achieve.

I have not been a runner, I watched Phoebe complete the Mini Marathon last year and wouldn't have been able to run with her for more than a minute. So on the Monday after the 2024 Marathon I started from Couch to 5k. I signed up to do the Vitality 10k in September and have the ultimate goal to complete the London Marathon 2025.

Having not been a runner before, I have to say I love it, it's had so many other benefits to my life and I really want to show my children that if you set your mind to something and work hard then you can achieve it.

I have worked for Sense for the past 12 and half years. It is a fantastic charity that supports people who are deafblind and those with complex disabilities, to be understood, connected and valued.

They are there for every person who faces communication barriers in a world that relies on being able to see and hear well to be connected. Together we can unlock barriers to communication so no one is isolated, left out or unable to fulfil their potential.

Here are a couple of links to films which illustrate the difference which Sense makes to people's lives

If you can spare any money then I would be so grateful. Thank you for helping me reach my London Marathon goal.
