Treble TrouBULL at London Marathon 2015
Hi everyone!
First of all, thank you for taking your time to read our page! We
are probably out training at the moment, or thinking about
training or have just been training!
26th April 2015 will see all 3 of us (Sarah, Helen & Tori) at the
start line of the London Marathon. For Tori it is her very first
marathon, Sarah's will be her 7th and for Mum it will be her
4th.
Since our Aunty Laila died from skin cancer 5 years ago now we have raised
around £15,000 through various events, for RAFT. A charity close to our hearts
and who have appreciated every penny we have helped raise for them and we
hope that we have made a fundamental difference in the research into skin
traumas such as skin cancer.
We never thought we would be raising money for another cause, until New Years
Day 2014. Our Dad suffered from a cardiac arrest whilst in hospital - he really was
in the right place at the right time. They used a defibrillator to literally bring him
back to life and he has been on the road to recovery since - only recently been
given the all clear from his consultant which we are all very happy about.
Our Dad spent almost 2 months in the Leeds General Infirmary where he was
treated and cared for on the high dependency heart unit by staff from LGI and
more importantly the Take Heart charity.
They did a fantastic job in making my Dad and his many amazing friends and
visitors comfortable during a very stressful and worrying time. They made
everything relaxed, knowing he was being looked after by the right people really
did make us all feel at ease. Even if he was a handful for them!
So we thought, what better way of showing our appreciation but to run a
mararthon. Not on our own, but with each other. My Mum and Sister and I will be
joining hands at the start of the London Marathon and run the whole way
together. Our Dad and other supporting boyfriends will be there on the sidelines
cheering us on around the streets of London too!
This will be a challenge for all of us, but we want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to
Take Heart. It will be my 25th birthday on the day and we hope to celebrate at the
end by not only completing the 26.2 miles but by raising a huge amount of
money.
So please if you have taken the time to read this, just hit DONATE. It takes 2
minutes and you will be making a very big difference. We know that there are so
many people out there asking for donations for their special causes, and we also
know that every family will have their own struggles and challenges and we really
do not wish the same on anyone, but you never know what life may throw at you.
Thank you in advance and stay posted for our training journeys! x
