My story

[p]UPDATE! 4th October 2021[/p][p]I made it! 4 hrs 50 minutes was my finish time. Really epic, emotional day! The crowds were phenomenal and the friends around the course really gave me a lift. Had a very low point at mile 21 but managed to walk off cramp and get going again to run the last few miles to the finish. Incredible to run over Tower Bridge, past Buckingham Palace and down the Mall.[/p][p][br][/p][p]Thank you all for the support.[/p][p][br][/p][p]Vanessa x[/p][p]----------------------[/p][p][br][/p][p]I've watched it several times and am now signed up for the London Marathon in October 2021. [/p][p]I completed the 5k per day 'December Dash' December 2020 and raised a bit more towards my target.[/p][p]This is the third time starting my training as the last two times were cancelled :([/p][p]My chosen charity is St George's Hospital Charity - based in London - Without the experts at St George's Hospital, Wallace's foot/leg lymphodema would possibly have gone undiagnosed; he now has treatment at the hospital every four months so we feel like regulars and this is my time to give a little back. The charity works closely with the Lyphoedema Society. [/p][p]Thanks for supporting me. Vanessa x[/p][p][br][/p][p][br][/p]
