My name is Rosie I am supported by The Grange Centre. This year I’m taking on a huge challenge, running the London Marathon! It’s something I never thought I would do, but I’m determined to cross that finish line.

I’m running to raise money for two charities that mean a lot to me: The Grange, where I live and learn new skills every day, and Diamond Centre, which gives people like me the chance to enjoy horse riding and build confidence.

There’s another reason why this marathon is so important to me. My Grandma always encouraged me to go for my dreams and she believed I could do this. She passed away recently, so I’m running in her memory. 

Life at The Grange helps me be independent and do things I love, like cooking, gardening and spending time with friends. Training for the marathon is hard work, but I’m excited to show what I can achieve.

Please support me if you can. This fundraising page is for The Grange Centre and every donation will make a big difference to help people live fulfilling lives. 

Thank you for cheering me on – I’ll be thinking of you all (and my Grandma) on race day!
