Story

A couple of years ago, I had a wake up call and realised I needed to start looking after myself. I began to run, and initially I was only able to jog  30 seconds, which was another wake up call. Now, I'll be running the London Marathon AND the London Landmark Half Marathon. 

I chose the British Legion for a simple reason, to remember my dad. He supported them, he supported me. He told me before he passed away that I'd be running within the next ten years, at the time it seemed laughable, but here I go! 

Beyond this, the work that the British Legion undertake to support those in need, and those that deserve to be remembered is to be celebrated and helped.
