I’m so loving the running I’ve decided to do the 2019 London Marathon - giving myself plenty of time to train!!!

Great stuff!!!

Very exciting! A grand challenge to keep you running!

Are you planning to enter through the ballot process?

[Pam_E in reply to Millsie-J]

I’m hoping to do it in aid of Maggies Cancer Care Centres - the Nottingham centre has been fantastic for us as my husband has terminal prostate cancer

[Millsie-J in reply to Pam_E]

Brilliant cause, a worthy aim and a great focus for you. It is hard I know, we have similar family health issues. Do they offer places in the race? I know many charities do.

[Pam_E in reply to Millsie-J]

Yep!

[Pam_E in reply to Millsie-J]

Sorry Millie, they do offer places but it has to come from Head Office - obviously they haven’t got the 2019 details yet - as I’ve already raised quite a bit of money for them they are very confident that I’ll get a place - we could even run together?!!!!

[Pam_E]

I’m not 100% but I’ll ask when I go to their 6th birthday party on Thursday - I did a skydive for them in July!!

[Millsie-J in reply to Pam_E]

Thank you for the offer however i will decline. My focus next year is a HM distance and due to family circumstances our chosen charities remain Mesothelioma UK and Kidney Research Uk.

Happy running.

Excellent! And good idea to give yourself plenty of time to get the training in. Fingers crossed that they do offer places

[Pam_E in reply to Tomas]

Hi Tom. I’ve already spoken to maggies cancer care centre to get myself in early - head office will be in touch later once dates and things get moving!

Have just got a place on the Big Landmark half marathon in London in March and another one in Derby in June so plenty of prep work being done - I don’t do anything by halves!!
