I took on the London Marathon as I run regularly and have done a couple of half marathons. I applied a few times in the ballot unsuccessfully and some people mentioned other marathons but to me this is the one to do. I am only doing this once and it has to be London!

I have been a member of the Aspire Leisure Centre for about 20 years and regularly attend the Cardio Tennis, Pickleball and Pilates classes.

I wanted to run for Aspire as I know the Aspire Leisure Centre so well. The staff and users are friendly and there is a welcoming atmosphere. As the users are both disabled and non-disabled, it is very inclusive. I am not sure how many other gyms would be suitable for disabled users.

My training has been going well, but I have had a couple of injuries since taking this on. Currently, I have a lower back injury and am not able to run but I expect I can start again in a couple of weeks.

I’m delighted to have raised over £2,440 so far.  I am lucky, I have very generous friends and family who have sponsored me. They understand what an achievement it will be to cross the finish line.
