Jen Bradshaw said ‘Three days after the London marathon and I’m still buzzing.
The whole weekend was an amazing experience, full of so many emotions, happy, sad, nerves, joy and so much more.
From the moment I walked in to the Excel to register and collect my race number to the moment I crossed that finish line, I can honestly say, it was worth it and so so much fun.
Jen Bradshaw said ‘As many of you know I am not a runner. Not even a jogger. Therefore taking part in the London marathon is a huge challenge for me. Also as part of this I have given up smoking also. It’s a lifestyle change, not just a physical challenge, mental too.
My aim is to complete the marathon, not fast and it certainly won’t be graceful!
General fundraising has been hit very hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands of fundraising events have been cancelled and many charities, particularly smaller ones, are struggling to maintain services because of this huge reduction in income.
That's why Team Mourant in Guernsey has decided to take part in the 2.6 Challenge, a massive fundraising campaign taking place on Sunday 26 April – when the 40th London Marathon would have taken place. They have very kindly chosen to raise money for the Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA).
Guernsey man Mark Haggarty is taking on his first ever marathon and has decided that he would like to help animals in Guernsey for this momentous task.
Mark didn't think when applying for a place in the London Marathon he would be accepted but after finding out that he now has this amazing opportunity he is busy not only preparing for this huge run, he is also raising funds to help the many animals at the GSPCA.
