London Marathon for The Seafarers' Charity

Let the games begin!

Friday 9th Jan

Hi All, 

Since we are in January now I thought it would be a good time to start my fundraising push for the London marathon which I will be taking part in on Sunday 26th April 2026. I am raising funds for The Seafarers Charity who support people who currently work at Sea or have worked at sea, as well as supporting the families.

Although my target is to try and reach £2,250,  I need to raise a minimum of £500 by March to officially secure my running spot or I won’t be able to take part in the run. (Charity place requirements…).

I am currently working my way through a 17 Week Marathon Training Plan. I’ve not done a great deal of long distance running since my last marathon in Manchester last April, which was amazing!!! so this time it’s been a total reset for me as I build up again to marathon level fitness… fun and games that’s all I’m saying. No Pain No Gain! 

I am super excited for the marathon and being able to get a charity place for London has been a dream as I have tried for several years with no luck! I’m glad 2026 will finally be the year - A bucket list moment and I can’t wait!!! 😁 

Any donation will be greatly appreciated if you are able to donate big or small! 

Running for charity is not something I have done before, however it spurs me on knowing I am doing this for a good cause. The training is the hardest part believe it or not… so roll on marathon day! 

Please share my fundraising page if you are able to do so as well across social media :) 

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
