Jenna's London Marathon Fundraising Page for Sailors' Society

My Story
I'm running the London Marathon in 2025 for Sailors' Society, a welfare charity who help and support seafarers and their families all over the world, when they are most in need.
It will also be a personal challenge for me to celebrate my 40th birthday year and next decade - sorry, chapter - of my life, to keep fit, and give me something tremendous to aim for (honestly, why spent months training for and running a marathon when I could just have a party and a lie-in, right?!).
I, and Sailor's Society, would absolutely love your support!
Sailors' Society provide a much-needed lifeline to seafarers and crew members, when they need support or are in difficult times. Seafarers often face particularly tough situations, such as facing armed rebels, and the threat and reality of piracy is terrifyingly commonplace. Many will come under fire from terrorists, in unfamiliar territory.
Others will apply for their dream job as a crew member, only to discover later that their ships are abandoned and their paperwork is invalid - leaving them without wages, little food, and many are even arrested as they try to get home.
During these times, Sailors Society offer them crisis support, reassurance, a listening ear, and support for their worried and concerns families back home.
About the London Marathon
The London Marathon has become an annual, inspiring and colourful fixture in the world’s sporting calendar since the inaugural race on 29 March 1981: a celebration of fun, fundraising and fancy dress.
Over the years more than a million people have completed the 26.2-mile course – which runs from Blackheath to The Mall, with a spectacular finish in front of Buckingham Palace, showcasing the very best that the capital city has to offer.
What’s more, these participants have raised over a billion pounds for charity and there have been countless amazing tales of human achievement throughout the event’s history – living up to its aim of helping participants ‘to have fun, and provide some happiness and sense of achievement in a troubled world’.
