Rosa Parsons, the Recovery Coordinator from our Littlemore site, is in hard training for this year’s Brighton marathon to raise funds for Restore. The gruelling race will be run on 14th April.
In her own words:
“Last year I was part of the crowds watching the London marathon…I was clearly so caught up in the atmosphere and positivity that I found myself booked onto the Brighton marathon soon after!”
“I have always enjoyed running, and it means a lot to my physical and mental well-being. I have been running a couple of times a week for a while; however the idea of running 26.2 miles was slightly intimidating!…I will admit the recent weather has been quite a challenge for my motivation and training plan. Through the snow, ice and cold wet nights I have persevered, headphones on, trying to drown out the thoughts of ‘I could be sitting on the sofa in a nice warm room relaxing!’.”
“The knowledge of so many people supporting my efforts will keep me going on the day. Knowing it’s all worth it will be fantastic. I am very lucky to have so many charitable friends and family members who have already donated kindly, and hope that more people will give generously to support Restore’s work in Oxfordshire.”
