22/04/25 UPDATE! I'm blown away by your support so far. Thank you! My target was £750 and that has been smashed already. Please keep on supporting me with your sponsorship and let's see how much we can raise for mental health. Thank you, Becs.
45 years ago I watched the first ever London Marathon on TV and I thought, I'll do that one day! I applied for a place for The London Marathon on many occasions but was never successful! I joined The Dorking and Mole Valley Athletics Club about 8 years ago and this year I've been fortunate enough to receive a place in The London Marathon via the club ballot. So, at the age of 60 I will be realising my ambition to be part of this amazing marathon! I've been training with the goal to be injury free to make the start line. So far so good! My start time is 11.00 and my bib number is 28718 and I'll be running in the club vest. Keep an eye out for me!
I've chosen to support Mary Frances Trust (MFT), a local mental health and emotional wellbeing charity. I really wanted to choose a small local charity so that I can try and help local people live better lives now, giving them a true start to move forwards.
MFT has been supporting the Surrey community since 1994, offering face-to-face and online services to adults aged 16+ who are registered with a Surrey GP who would like to restore and/or maintain their mental and emotional wellbeing. The support is free of charge and you do not need a GP referral or clinical diagnosis. You can find out more by visiting their website www.maryfrancestrust.org.uk
So please sponsor me as I take on this huge challenge. You'll be helping many people in our own community who are struggling with their mental health. Thank you, Becs.
