2023 London Marathon Challenge

Article by Guru Singh

Having run the London Marathon in October 2022, along with my wife Val, and finishing in a time better than expected I decided to apply again for the run in April 2023. Sadly I was unsuccessful in the ballot but have now received the wonderful news from Brain Research UK that they would like me to run for them again. This is amazing considering they had over 6000 applicants for only 300 places. This is indeed an honour.

Now I need to turn such faith placed in me into further training - this time through the winter months which will bring its own challenges. I hope people will get involved in this next phase of my journey.

There are only 3 months to go until the marathon on 23 April. I have set up a sponsorship page and the link is below. Every pound raised goes into important brain research into dementia, Alzheimer’s, strokes, brain injury and tumours, epilepsy and degenerative diseases like Parkinson’s. We and our loved ones all benefit from this research. By supporting this research we are leaving a hopeful legacy for future generations. My own severe brain injury in 2017 has made this cause very close to my heart.

Donations in cash or cheque paid out to Brain Research UK can also be left at Ryatt’s Optometrist in the Bull Ring in Shepshed.
