Look Good, Feel Good, Do Good

Running a marathon is on the bucket list for many people.  It's a serious challenge but an excellent one to focus the mind on some quality training and there's no greater sense of achievement when you cross the finish line.  

The London Marathon is arguably the most exciting in the calendar but it's not easy to get a place.  One way to guarantee a slot is via a charity and if you're contemplating this route we'd highly recommend you run for team Whizz Kidz.

I spent time with the charity last year and they do some AMAZING work.  I've seen first hand what a huge difference their fundraising money makes to children and young adults.

So if you, or anyone you know, is looking to run the marathon and doesn't yet have a place - maybe a family member, colleagues, clients or contacts - point them in the direction of Whizz Kidz.  It's a great charity to raise money for, run by fantastic people who simply want to make the biggest difference possible to children who face far bigger challenges than running 26 miles.
