My Story

My one and only marathon was The London Marathon 33 years ago when I ran to raise money for a Children's Cancer Charity. It was an amazing experience and running for a cause gave me the will power to train and complete the course. 

When my sister, who is new to running, mentioned that she had entered the Virtual London Marathon 2022, to raise money for The British Heart Foundation in memory of our dad, whilst I was so impressed my initial thoughts were that she was crazy! 

A week later and guess what - I decided to join her. Finding time and training in the Florida heat is going to be a huge challenge but I am always up for a challenge and not one to give in. Raising money for this cause will help me find the strength and determination to complete the race on October 2nd. 

My sister and I may be separated by the Atlantic Ocean but are hearts and minds are joined. Any donation you are able to make will be very much appreciated. Thank you!
