So yeah, I guess it’s time to tell you, let the reality sink in 🤨 I have always said no, I’ll never do it, but this year was different and I’m just asking you to take 2 minutes to read my why…
In April 2021 my big brother, Tommy, passed away. Tommy was more than a brother, I don’t have a dad, so he acted as that kind of figure too. You know the person you call when you break down, need air in your tyre, or just someone to call when you have no clue who else to call… When I lost him I was young and it took a while for me to understand how I truly felt.
You see, initially I felt angry and to be honest did blame everything and everyone. Including the charity I’m running for… if they had done something different would he be here? But actually, I’ve found peace (some days) knowing that he has found his dad in heaven, and we will meet again. And when we do I’ll show him thes muscles I’m building and tell him it’s all because of him. actually it was hard for the paramedics and air ambulance that day. They tried their best and they made it their mission to keep Tommy comfortable in his last moments.
I’m running the London Marathon on the weekend of Tommy’s anniversary, which is why the stars felt like they were aligning and now felt right.
The air ambulance is a charity, so every mission is funded by the community rather than the government or NHS. Each helicopter mission costs around £3,950. You always hope you’ll never need them, but you never know when you might.
I’m going to be doing a few fundraising events over the next few months: fitness events, bake sales, raffles, run clubs. I’d love your support when I do them! 💛If you can donate, I’d hugely appreciate it. If you can’t, that’s totally okay, and it would mean just as much if you could share it. 💛 https://click.contact.justgiving.com/?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjUwMTZ9AAYAAAAABagDOZ7hKZKXP-jDpcd-Xb3_jY_OmjeZHyC4FL8gL-R7fhZaBMOCgNa7uIfbA0gmcfxUvvXEE-6U_FhlTtI0nxIWbBcgVTBcxA
