My Story

I feel very lucky to have a last minute place in the London Marathon this year, with under 6 weeks to go! If you told me this 3 years ago I would have fallen over backwards - I used to HATE running... now it's a release for me and this is an opportunity I couldn't turn down; the chance to raise money for this brilliant charity!

This isn't long to get match fit, especially as I have had no intention of running a marathon for the last 2 weeks and have been very much enjoying my holiday, but I can't wait to give the next 6 weeks my ALL!!!

I need to raise £1000, but am hoping to exceed this if possible! Would really appreciate anything you can give 🫶🏼

TheGivingMachine is a charity local to my hometown in Essex, who offer fundraising solutions to good causes to ensure they remain sustainable. The funds you raise for will support their Community Grant programme which offers 8 x £250 grants to good causes each quarter. Causes can choose to spend these grants on whatever they would like, some may use the funds for a project while others may use them to pay a bill. They support charities, schools, and community groups by offering simple fundraising solutions and providing grants that make a real difference. Every mile run and every donation raised helps them extend their reach and empower even more good causes. Thank you for supporting!!
