Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
My name is Isobel Robertson, and I have been running long distance events for a couple of years now.
I was offered a ballot spot for the Virgin London Marathon 2016, and would like to raise money for Fresh Start in Edinburgh. This is only my second marathon, and I understand how much effort, time and determination is required to successfully complete the 26.2 mile course. I have been training for the event since January, and I am determined that I will finish the race on the 24th of April in one of the worlds biggest marathon events.
I have chosen to run for Fresh Start as I would like to raise money for a charity which is local to me. This charity was also set up with the help of my uncle, Rev Dr Russell Barr, and I would like to show my support for the amazing work he does.
Fresh Start is an Edinburgh Based Charity helping people who have been homeless to become established in their new home. Working in partnership with volunteers and organisations from a broad section of the community, the charity delivers a range of services that provide the practical and social support that help people resettle successfully.
Each year Fresh Start helps thousands of new tenants settle into their homes. This can only be achieved by the hard work of their volunteers and the generosity of the donations they receive.
