This year I am looking to run two marathons in the space of a week whilst raising money for The British Heart Foundation in memory of my Grandfather who passed away 2 years ago. He suddenly passed away due to cardiac tamponade, he was a fit old gent and it came as a huge shock to our family. He was a keen runner and actually completed the London Marathon in 2hrs33 at the age of 40, coming in with the elite women racers at the time, a time I wouldn’t get close too, even on a bike! The Manchester & London Marathon are a week apart this year so I thought it would be a good time to challenge myself in memory of him and also raise money for a charity close to my heart. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
Manchester Marathon - Sunday 16th April
London Marathon - Sunday 23rd April
I’ll be aiming for a 3hr30-4hr finish time, not quite 2hrs33!
Thank you very much for any donations, big or small, it does mean a lot.
