What has inspired you to run the London Marathon in aid of Papworth Trust?

Papworth Trust do so much good in our local community.  From spending time in multiple local centres and meeting the team at OWL Bikes, I cannot see how my time and efforts could be any better spent.  I’m so pleased to be able to support all individuals and families that benefit from the great work Papworth Trust do.

Have you completed a marathon before?

Somehow yes.  I have completed 2 marathons before – York and Manchester.  I had said “Never again” until this opportunity arose.

How is your training going so far, what time do you hope to achieve on the day?

So so.  I have been training for other, smaller events, so far this year.  Once August arrives my full focus will be on increasing my weekly mileage to ensure I keep up with my very dedicated training partner.  My PB is 5:39, so I am definitely aiming to beat that, but who knows what race day will bring…

How can people sponsor you?
