I have wanted to run the London Marathon for years but have never been successful in the ballot.
In 2022, my dad died from heart related illness. This year, I applied to the British Heart Foundation for a place in the marathon. Luckily (I think), they gave me a space.
My goal is to get fit, shed a few chins and raise buckets of money for a wonderful cause.
Please follow along and donate a few quid if you can.
Thanks.
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’.
