Story
When we ran the London Marathon in 2015 we were younger, fitter and running in memory of Dad. We loved our hugs from Mum at the finish line, she was so proud of us and we created beautiful memories out of devastating heartbreak. This time around we're older, having to work hard on our fitness levels and are dedicating this run in Mum's memory. It's 3 years since Mum died and it feels like yesterday & an eternity all at once. Grief is permanent, but so are the love & memories that fill the void in our hearts. To live in the hearts of those we love is to never truly die. We ran London Marathon 2015 wearing our Roy Castle running vest 'For Dad'. We completed the Wall in 2021 wearing our vests 'For Mum & Dad'. Feeling emotional that this time around our vests will say 'For Mum'. It goes without saying that in our hearts we're running for Mum & Dad but we want this run to be a dedication to our beautiful Mum. There are times when you train for a marathon when you think why am I doing this! Both Mum & Dad will be our inspiration to get to the start as well as the finish line. They're the reason we have such drive & self belief. Raising awareness and funds for the Roy Castle Lung Foundation gives us solace. Our friends and family help us to make a difference and for this we will forever be thankful.Updates
