My Story

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’.

Victim Support Scotland is a charity helping individuals who have been impacted by crime. VSS can support people in a variety of ways whether that be support through the court process, emotional support, financial support or just to be a listening ear. I have volunteered with VSS now for 2 years and I am passionate about making a difference for these individuals who are often traumatised and really struggling. Any donation would be massively appreciated and will all help towards providing support for our service users.
