This April I will be attempting to run the London Marathon for Restore - a Mental Health charity doing great work locally around Oxfordshire. I am trying to raise £1500 directly for Restore, so if you can give anything at all towards that goal, I would be very grateful.

The furthest I have ever run is a 10km fun run back in 2010 and the London Marathon is 42km (26.2 miles), so I have a big challenge ahead and only 16 weeks to train!

About Restore

Restore supports people with severe mental health problems in Oxfordshire to recover and secure employment. They help people regain their confidence and well-being through valuable activities: tending to community gardens, making woodwork and crafts to sell, and running shops and cafes. They also provide one to one support to help people achieve their goals and overcome barriers to employment.
