Jodie Adams

For years I’ve dreamt about running in the London Marathon, my mum will tell you that I used to ask each year if I could do it only to be told I wasn’t old enough.
I’ve never been much of a runner (bad knees and dodgy ankles) but I decided earlier this year to have a crack at it and I have been fortunate enough to have been given a place.

This is my first marathon and I’m lucky to a part of it. Even before I knew I had secured a place, I knew I wanted to raise money for the Brain Tumour Trust in memory if Jodie Adams (Jodie Adams Fund). I didn’t know Jodie before she passed away, but I have been involved in other fund raising events for the charity and I know what important work they do in the reasearch of brain tumours.

26.2 miles completed in 3:54:02! What an amazing day, what amazing support and what an amazing total raised! Thank you all for helping to get there… Was a great day that I will never forget and hope to improve if I can get a place next year. Thank you again!

£1658.00 raised

We raised £410, which was matched by the Barclays scheme £4£ through Nikki Thurland an Training Consultant, Central Training Team UKRBB, so the total raised will be £820.  A fantastic amount.

Many thanks to Stacey, Von, Lisa, Anezka, Jayne and Sandy for their creative cakes that tasted wonderful.  Nikki and Anita for organising the raffle and guess the Hippo’s name, Stacey for the children’s “Draw the Hippo” picture.

Everyone who donated a raffle prize and all those who popped in, supported us and helped in raising all the money.

Please see the photos page for some pictures of the event.

Thank you all so much. xx
