My story for why I’m taking on the London Marathon. I’m so incredibly grateful for all the donations so far, I’m nearly halfway to my target which is incredible ♥️♥️ Please share and help me to get to my target ♥️♥️ and with sharing hopefully I can help someone else who is struggling too ♥️♥️
I am taking on this huge challenge, not only to prove to myself I can but also to give hope to all those who struggle and cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel and those who want to give up, to show and share with them that life is worth living no matter how hard things get.
In March 2021, I got to the darkest, loneliness place, where I could see no light and I thought everyone would be better off if I was not here. I tried to end my life, I never expected to wake up a week later in intensive care, my legs 4 times the size they were supposed to be, massive open wounds on each side of them, muscle had been removed from both legs. It was to be the start of a 3 month recovery journey in hospital and then years of pain and another operation on my foot in September 2023. I had to learn how to stand again and then walk again and at the moment I’m working towards learning how to run again… that’s why running the London marathon is going to be one hell of a challenge and journey! My physio thinks I’m crazy! I am determined to do this though.
I gave up in March 2021, but I will not give up again and the reason I am running it for Oxford Samaritans is because I’m the time after my su***de attempt, there was many times I felt so incredibly low and alone, hospital can be a very lonely place. I spoke to the Samaritans so many times in that period of my life, they listen without judgment, they never make you feel like a burden, something I’ve struggled with a lot with how I feel about myself. They are always there 24 hours a day. What they offer, I believe is life saving. I could not think of a better charity for myself to raise money for.
I hope by sharing my story, I can raise enough money to help even one person.
I will update with my training, I will be honest and give you the bad and the good as I take on this challenge! I know it’s not going to be easy but I am determined and every one that knows me knows I love pushing myself.
Before that March, I used to run a lot and I loved it, I feel like I’ve lost a part of me from the damage to my legs and I am excited to get that part of me back.
I hope you will all help me raise the money to be able to take part in this amazing race and personal journey and I thank each and every one of you for your donation, it means so much to me and I know it will be amazing for the Oxford Samaritans too.
