Story

Hi,

I am taking part in Edinburghs Marathon which has been postponed 3 times due to Coronavirus from its original date of May 2020 to 29th May 2022.
I will be running 26.2 miles. I have been training 4to5 times each week since 1st October 2019 with longer runs on weekends, I've had a few little injuries/niggles in the first few months, which have subsided and i have grown stronger month on month, i am now slightly confident that I can do this! This is a personal challenge i have set myself, if you dont push yourself - will you ever know what you can actually achieve? Seeing as I am running so far I couldn't see myself not raise some money for Charity.


I’m raising money to support Metro Radio’s Cash for Kids in the North East of England. It was my first charity of choice back in 2008 when i first did my first GNR!
They make a real difference to the lives of local children and young people. A lot of kids in the Newcastle area live in poverty. In this day and age??? Now more than ever due to lack of donations to foodbanks and lack of people supporting charities due to Coronavirus, the charity are struggling to help everyone that needs their help. Please give what you can.

Everything raised in our area stays in our area, with a focus on alleviating poverty, supporting disability and improving quality of life. Any amount you care to give is very much appreciated. After you sponsor me, it would be great if you could leave me a photo or video support message too!

Thank you, i love you all xxx

My longest run so far in the last 2yrs was a 15mile run in August 2021… so this means the marathon is just 15miles plus 11.2 miles? Aye, no problem pet 😂💪🏻 Xx

I am still running. 2 years on from when i first entered this Marathon.
It would have been easy to give up, to blame covid or some other mediocre excuse, but for anyone who knows me, knows this: i never give up. I will see this through if it kills me. Always remember why you started something. Know who you are and what you can do. Keep on pushing. Be your greatest xxx

I will run this Marathon one day xxx

“The one who falls and gets back up is far stronger than the one who never stumbles”... I fell down today, whilst running, bashed my leg, shoulder and hands... a few days rest and i’ll be back running again. Still i did my longest run so far... and... I’m the strongest person i know, nothing keeps me down xx
