My Story

Why the Gardens Trust?

After several times being unsuccessful in the London marathon Ballot the opportunity to run and raise money for the Gardens trust was too good an opportunity to miss. 
Having spent my whole life being passionate about and working in Horticulture the chance to raise money for an organisation dedicated to protecting and conserving the Heritage of designed landscapes seemed like the perfect fit. 

Although I have run marathons and several ultras before, this is the first Road marathon I will run and I aim to complete in around 3.5hrs. As part of my trading I will be running an 53km race in Keswick fully on trails which should help make flat roads feel easy. 😂

I'm greatly appreciative of any amount you are able to Donate towards the Gardens trust and the great work that they do. 

 

About us

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’.
