"A big thing for me is I don’t want to simply complete the marathon, I want to enjoy it"


Why the London Marathon?

It’s on my bucket list! I wasn’t a huge runner before but I kept myself fit through cycling.
I went to the London Marathon last year to support a friend and it was just incredible. The buzz and atmosphere are amazing as a spectator, and I want to experience that as a runner now.

Why Papworth Trust?

My employer, One Broker, has supported Papworth Trust as a charity for a number of years. I’ve participated in events such as the Aviva's 6's football, and a quiz and chips night; all raising money for Papworth Trust. It’s great to be able to support a charity that you can see doing great work!

How’s your training going?

It’s going well. I completed the Richmond half marathon and I’ve carried on from there. I’ve managed to complete 30kms in one sitting.
A big thing for me is I don’t want to simply complete the marathon, I want to enjoy it! By that I mean I want to run it and not feel like I’m constantly gasping for breath. I’m aiming to complete it in around four hours all being well.

How can people sponsor you?
