Story

So much to say ... here's the quick version... place confirmed with MacMillan for London marathon 2025 after loss of my uncle , mum getting ill again... and so many' more close to me fighting, fought, recovered and lost....

Training from scratch ,half marathon 13 miles and a bit more in mileage... 23rd January 2025 and a pain in my arse "yes i mean quite literally" came the news of a broken hip.... operation 14th Feb and lost myself, my independence & everything that had helped me feel more like jojo again.

Place now deferred by MacMillan for London 2026 my page here being edited and counts towards my target ...NOW a much bigger than the original 26.2 miles.... help me as I go on Sunday 27th April 2025 on my crutches (with a wheel chair in tow )to "Jojo's mission to the London marathon!"

I said that was my challenge I never said how... so I have the best of both worlds celebrating my journey and fundraising for the most amazing charity who do so much for so so many which goes far further than most people even know ....doing it all twice. Please did deep and help me .... challenge of my life now as can't walk far without the crutches . There will be tears there will be laughter but I can be proud of who I am and what I have done to date and what I will going forward bumps included as we go to 2026
