Sara's Mid Life Marathon Challenge

I hit 50 recently and in the spirit of embracing and celebrating a new stage of life, I created a bucket list full of challenges and new experiences. One to take me right out of my comfort zone was training for and completing a marathon.
I started what feels like a mammoth task by joining a fitness community and committing to 20mins of exercise a day early this year which I've been building on.
It wasn't long before I really started to feel the benefits of a healthier lifestyle and the buzz of exercise. I also got to forge new connections albeit on line with like minded people around the world which has spurred me on. Despite a number of setbacks and injuries I am finally on the way to Loch Ness after what feels like an incredible journey!
I am raising funds for a charity I am really passionate about, the Stable Family Home Trust. They provide the most amazing care and purposeful activities for adults with learning disabilities in Hampshire. Covid has really set them back as services had to close or were limited, which has really isolated them socially and affected their quality of life.
I want to give the service users the gift of exercise by raising much needed funds to bring in Jenny and Rob of the Gym Tin to run outdoor exercise and training. The guys really enjoy the classes where they get to express themselves fully, have lots of fun and enhance their health and wellbeing. All so very necessary after this awful pandemic.
Please give as much as you can - no matter how small a contribution. Every penny helps these wonderful people feel good and get back to normal.
