After many years of disappointment in the London Marathon ballot, I finally received the “You’re In!” email this year and I feel incredibly lucky to have the chance to take on this iconic event next year.

I’m proud to be fundraising for Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care, a local charity I’ve come to know through my work with the St Albans District Chamber of Commerce. They provide compassionate, patient-centred palliative care and bereavement support to people and families across Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. The charity truly makes a difference at the most difficult time in people’s lives.

Supporting such an important cause will give me all the motivation I need during the long training months ahead, especially as the evenings grow darker. If you can spare anything at all, your support would mean so much.

Thank you!
