Harry’s London Marathon

What was your challenge?

“I set myself the challenge of running the London Marathon in April 2022, which is a 26.2 mile run through the streets and sites of London”

What was your motivation for fundraising?

“My motivation was to raise money and awareness for It’s Time after losing my dad aged 16. I wanted to do this to support the charity and help them help other young adults who have experienced similar loss”

What did you find most challenging?

“The part of the marathon around Canary Wharf I found toughest during the marathon, I really had to dig deep. Family and friends massively helped who supported on the sidelines during the run. I found it also challenging asking for sponsorship and donations, especially with the current economic climate”

What was the best bit about your experience?

“Being able to talk a lot about the charity and my motives for running. ”
