London Marathon 2025!
Samantha Marshall is raising money for Links
My story
I am SUPER excited to let you know that I will be running in one of the most popular marathons in the world next April, the London Marathon.
Some of you may remember that I ran a virtual version of the London marathon in 2022, crossing the finish line vowing never again!
But, how could I say no to an offer of a ‘real’ London marathon place, especially when the charity I will be running for, has a mission so close to my heart. ❤️
‘The Links Charity mission, is to connect people, confront poverty and create potential.’
Links works with around 60 nations, helping to free thousands of families from poverty. They empower communities to improve their conditions, with education and training, enabling these communities and families to become financially self sustainable. Offering a hand up, and not a hand out.
Living most my life in Zimbabwe, I have seen this poverty first hand and the repercussions. I love the Links ethos of helping families to help themselves. The education and training they provide gives everyone a chance to take a step up and better their lives.
My challenge will be to get through the long training runs, and try to arrive on the start line in one piece… more or less! 🤞🏼
Thank you for all the support you continue to give me no matter which ventures I pursue!
