Yes, you read that right, I am going to be running the TCS London Marathon on Sunday 27th April 2025! I will be raising money to support Pilgrims Hospice.

Pilgrims Hospice have been such an amazing support for myself and my loved ones when we sadly lost my Nan earlier this year. I cannot put into words just how amazing the work they do is, and the people that work there are.

I will be running in memory, not only of my amazing Nan, but also my Grandad and Father in Law who both were also supported and cared for by this amazing charity in their last days with us.

❤️❤️ Ellen Barden, David Barden and Kevin Griggs ❤️❤️

At the start of this 2024 I wasn't able to run for more than 30 seconds at a time. I have been working hard and making amazing progress. I am, by all means, not the fastest but I am totally ready to dive into some more intense training and can't wait to run (probably very slowly) this amazing race on 27th April 2025!

Thank you so much for visiting my JustGiving page and donating to help Pilgrims deliver skilled and compassionate end-of-life care, free of charge, to thousands of people in east Kent every year.

Your support is appreciated and so important, thank you.
