Meet our London Marathon runner Helen
Friday April 6, 2018
The London Marathon is only a few weeks away and Contact has
11 amazing runners who have been training and fundraising with all
their might to represent us at this year's event.
On 22nd April they will be making a huge difference to help
Contact continue providing advice, information and support to
thousands of families with disabled children in the UK.
Today, we'd like to introduce you to our wonderful runner
Helen Davies, who is running in memory of her sister
Carol.
Tell us a little bit about yourself
Helen Davies, 46 years of age. Married with two boys aged 16 and
18. I live in Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire and I
work at Knights Templar School in Baldock, Hertfordshire, as an
Administration Assistant.
Why did you decide to support Contact by taking part in the
London Marathon?
After many years of being unsuccessful in the
London Ballot, this opportunity came up for me to both run the
Marathon and help this fantastic charity (through a lead at work)
raise money to help support families with disabled
children.
This is very close to my heart having lost my
sister Carol last year, who herself had a disability - I will
run in her honour.
What has been the biggest challenge in your
marathon journey so far?
The training!
What are you most/least excited about?
Most excited about completing it and least
excited about not completing it!
Any hobbies outside running?
I play netball and I love walking.
