Story

Welcome to my fundraising page for MK Snap at the 2022 London Marathon.


MK SNAP is a truly transformational charity that provides education, life skills, work preparation and opportunities for adults with learning difficulties. It helps give them the confidence to realise their potential in an often uncaring world. Their center in Milton Keynes is hugely impressive and caters for a large number of disadvantaged people from the region. Not surprisingly, MK Snap needs a lot of funding to stay afloat, now more than ever with rapidly increasing costs. So they certainly need our support.

I was meant to be running the London Marathon in April 2020, then Covid hit. 

I still managed to raise £3,000 for MK Snap by running the virtual London Marathon in October 2020 - and believe me, it's just as long as the real thing!  Read about my virtual marathon here


Now two years later, I'm finally building up to the main event this Autumn, on October 2nd, to raise further funds for this fantastic charity.

My target is to run under 3hrs 30mins (8 mins per mile) for the first time. And your donation will definitely help me run faster (its a proven scientific fact). So a huge thanks in advance.
