Stories from our fundraisers
“Running the London Marathon is something I’ve always wanted to do and running for Winston’s Wish was an obvious choice as it’s a charity close to me and my family’s heart. During Week 10 of the training plan, it was announced that the 2020 London Marathon was postponed. I ended up running my first marathon completely alone. It was tough but the support I received after running was amazing. I got loads of messages and picked up lots of donations.”

“We [University of Leeds Celtic Cheerleaders] were all really upset to hear the Leeds Half Marathon was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, but we weren’t going to let that stop us! We didn’t want to let down the charity or all of the people who had donated by cancelling the challenge completely so we came up with the idea of a solo run. We have girls living in pretty much every part of the country, so between us we are going to run the 190-mile journey from London to Leeds.”
