London 10k with 10 days training.. yeah????

Simon Edwards is raising money for June's Wish Charity (registered in England & Wales 1216275)

Saucony London 10k 2026 · 12 July 2026 ·

June’s Wish Charity is dedicated to granting meaningful final wishes for people at the end of their dementia journey. Inspired by June, whose kindness and love continue to shape everything we do, June’s Wish exists to bring comfort, dignity and joy during one of life’s most difficult chapters. We believe that even as dementia progresses, moments of connection, recognition and peace still matter deeply and can make a lasting difference to wellbeing, reassurance and emotional comfort. We work closely with families, carers and professionals to create personalised wishes that reflect the individual’s life, values and loves. Wishes may be simple or significant, but each is designed to ease distress, reduce anxiety and create precious memories for everyone involved at a time that often feels overwhelming and uncertain. Alongside granting wishes, we provide emotional support to families who are navigating exhaustion, grief and isolation. Our approach is person-centred, compassionate and rooted in respect, kindness and dignity for both those living with dementia and the people who care for them every day. June’s Wish currently supports individuals and families in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, with plans to expand as funding allows. Every donation helps us reach more people, grant more wishes, and ensure that no one faces the end of their dementia journey without love, dignity, compassion and gentle moments of peace when they matter most.

Story

I have offered to be a late stand in for the 10k around London on the 12th, thinking i had 5 weeks to train, but turns out i only have 10 days!

Whilst the 10k hopefully will be achievable, I do need to squeeze in a huge amount of training to make it possible, and I also have a fairly ambitious charity target to raise in a short period.

The charity is June's Wish (https://juneswish.org.uk/) and they grant meaningful wishes to people in the later stages of dementia.

I'd be really grateful if you could donate, as this is a wonderful charity and I'd really liek to hit the target with just over a week to achieve it.
