🏃‍♀️ SHE'S BACK. 🏃‍♀️

Emily started running for the Jane Tomlinson Appeal back in 2008, lacing up for her first London Marathon after reading Jane's book "The Luxury of Time." Since then she's taken on event after event, all in support of a woman who achieved the extraordinary and left a legacy that keeps giving.

Her last fundraiser was in 2022. Four years on, she's back at it and she's going long. Really long.
This September, Emily's taking on the Ham to Lyme 50K Ultramarathon 😱 That's a marathon... and then another 10K on top. Or if parkrun's are more your unit of measurement, that's 10 of them, back to back.

Every penny raised goes towards us the Jane Tomlinson Appeal supporting bereaved children, funding non-drug cancer therapies, improving children's health and wellbeing, and backing pioneering cancer research.

Emily's words say it best: "Anything you can give will be appreciated. However small or big. There's no judgement here, just huge thanks."

And you too can start raising money for the Appeal, just set up your own JustGiving page! 💜

Just over a week on from the York 10K, we’re delighted to share the inspiring story of Tony and Sue from Weston-super-Mare 👏

Having admired Jane's incredible achievements, they were inspired to continue running themselves and take on new challenges.

Since then, they’ve gone on to complete marathons, 10-mile races and numerous 10Ks, while making fantastic donations to the Jane Tomlinson Appeal along the way.

Massive thank you to you both for your incredible support 💙
