Heather's London Marathon

Apr 20, 2025

Heather Sherriffs

Hello !
I seem to have accidentally got a place in the London Marathon next year. I wasn't expecting to get a place on my first go in the ballot, but I did, and I'm both excited and nervous in equal amounts. Because I'm doing this for fun (believe it or not) I wasn't originally planning to set up a fundraising page. However, a fair few people have asked me who I am running for, or for the link to a donation page, which is very generous.
So, I thought I'd set up a page that will split any donations received between two charities that mean a lot to me for various reasons. If you'd like to give to your preferred charity instead, that will be equally motivating.
I will be incredibly thankful for any donations that come in and I have no doubt that they will help keep me going during the upcoming cold dark winter days. Mainly, I'd like this to serve as a reminder that there is help out there - you don't have to face anything alone. And be kind to each other!

Anyway, ramble over. Thank you for reading if you got this far :)

I confirm

I am a UK taxpayer and this is my own money.
This donation is not made as part of a sweepstake, raffle or lottery. I am not receiving anything in return for it.
I understand that if Gift Aid claimed in the tax year is more than income and capital gains tax I must pay HMRC the difference.
