My Story

I did it! And it was one of the hardest things I've done.
 
Thank you so much for supporting  me and supporting Henshaws.

I'm running the London Marathon for Henshaws! šŸƒā€ā™€ļøšŸŽ‰
 
This year,  Iā€™ll be taking on my first-ever marathonā€”the London Marathonā€”and Iā€™ve set myself the ambitious goal of raising Ā£2,000 in support of Henshaws, an incredible local charity based in Knaresborough.
 
Henshaws provides life-changing support for adults living with visual impairments and those with additional needs. As both a teacher and a SENCo, Iā€™m passionate about ensuring children and young people receive the best support possibleā€”and now I want to take that care beyond the classroom and into the wider community.
My family has proudly supported Henshaws in the pastā€”including taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks to raise fundsā€”but now itā€™s my turn to step up. Running 26.2 miles will be no easy task, but knowing Iā€™m helping such an amazing charity will keep me going every step of the way.
 
Your donation can make a real difference:
  • Ā£50 funds a creative workshop at the Arts & Crafts Centre, giving people a space to express themselves and build confidence.
  • Ā£150 enables a student with disabilities to access vital therapies such as hydrotherapy and physiotherapy and supports them with their wellbeing and independence.
  • Ā£200 could provide specialist tools and adaptive materials, helping ensure every student can fully engage in the activities they love.
If youā€™re able, please consider sponsoring meā€”together we can make a real difference.
 
Thank you so much for your support! šŸ’—



About the London Marathon 

The London Marathon has become an annual, inspiring and colourful fixture in the worldā€™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 ā€“ 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.

Whatā€™s more, these participants have raised over a billion pounds for charity and there have been countless amazing tales of human achievement throughout the eventā€™s history ā€“ living up to its aim of helping participants ā€˜to have fun, and provide some happiness and sense of achievement in a troubled worldā€™.
