My Story
Thanks for visiting my page!
I have been on a massive journey personally having been diagnosed with Diabetes and being fortunate enough to lose over 6 stone with the help of a groundbreaking programme from Counterweight to put my diabetes in remission. Running the marathon is the culmination of a life changing 18 months.
I am running for Cosmic because I want to pay back for the amazing work they did for my God Daughter Maddie and her brother Ryan. They work they do is truly inspirational and I could never support them enough. Anything you can spare to support me would be hugely appreciated as anyone who knows me realises how big a challenge this really is!!
About The Marathon.
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’.
