Louise's Virgin London Marathon 2020

My 2020 challenge......

This is not what I had planned for my challenge this year, but when you unexpectedly get a place in the ballot for the Virgin London marathon you can’t turn it down!! So April 26th I will be power walking my around the streets of London in my son, James’s memory raising money for The Aortic Centre Trust .

My fundraising continues following the success of the Isle of Wight walking challenge in 2019, I hope to raise further funds and awareness for this remarkable charity to continue the research into aortic disease.
