Virtual London Marathon 2020

The London Marathon 40th Anniversary turned into the Virtual London Marathon for first time in history, taking place in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. On Sunday 8th October whilst storm Alex raged on, I completed the 40th race on my training grounds in Oxted. I ran, jogged, walked and crawled 26.2 miles. A mix of road, woodland and mud field circuits with a total climb of approximately 722 meters by the end of the marathon and breaking the World Guinness record for completing the first virtual London Marathon.

The TGIB4 team thanks all those from the Oxted community for the amazing support!

The Beginning of a journey

On October 7th 2018 I ran the Titsey Trial 10K in memory of my mother who passed away on October 7th 2017. This was the first time I had done such a thing before and I am proud to say I finished and didn’t come last!

To run a Marathon, half or all of it requires sacrifice, dedication, discipline, endurance, courage and the will to help others. So I thought, there’s no better way to live up to the memory of my Mother.

Now, I ask myself how can I help others?

I decided I will take part in running and social events, and together we will help other people in need. Together Giving is Better, Together we can make a difference, Together we can change lives and by working together it can only get better.
