I've just run my first London Marathon on the 2nd October 2022! I've chosen to raise funds for The Link Visiting Scheme, a vitally important charity based near home in Wokingham.
The Link is dedicated to reducing loneliness by supporting people to build friendships and community connections.
"Since my husband died just before the pandemic, I've felt so alone. I don't have any family nearby. I joined Link Visiting and now see my volunteer every week. We go to the garden centre and I've joined in with Monday pub lunches.
Link has helped me enjoy my garden again. I know I've got someone to turn to. The four walls have disappeared!"

Your donation, however small, will be enormously appreciated as we know the winter is going to be a very tough time for lots of older people. Thank you for any help you can give. In case you are wondering, I won my place through the vastly over subscribed ballot so there has been absolutely no cost to The Link for this challenge.
Massive well done!
Well done Kevin!
What an amazing day in London, the support was unbelievable and I am pleased to have completed the course!
All the best for your run - great to be supporting people who can no longer run for themselves, but have valuable lives to live.
