Story
Paul Brogden has very kindly offered to run the London Marathon on Sunday 28th April 2019 in memory of George and to raise funds on behalf of Meningitis Now to help them in their fight against meningitis meaning they can continue to fund vaccine research, campaign for vaccine introductions for all children, support all those left affected by the devastation meningitis causes and continue raising awareness of the signs and symptoms. As I’m sure we can all agree running a marathon is no easy feat and takes months of dedication, preparation and perseverance so for Paul to take on this challenge and chose to do so for George is such a lovely gesture. Paul would like to raise as much as he can for Meningitis Now and so any sponsorship big or small is very greatly appreciated by Paul, the charity and us as George’s family, thank you and a huge good luck Paul 💪🏼💪🏼Updates
London Marathon Smashed ✅
9th May 2019Paul smashed the London Marathon in 5 hours and 12 minutes which is such a huge achievement!!
Well done Paul I’m so so grateful for all the hard work, determination and exhaustion you have gone through to help us raise money in memory of George.
Paul has raised £1658.75 in sponsorship and this will go such a long way in funding research, raising awareness and supporting all those left affected.
Thank you so much Paul 👍🏼
Memory Ribbon update
27th April 2019Marathon flip-flops arrived today. Not for running in before you start thinking I've *really* lost the plot. They'll be in my bag at the finish line ready for some very sore feet.
Things went a bit mad last night with the memory ribbons. I can't believe how many went and how quickly. Here's the list so far. Please let me know if I've missed anyone. Also, if I'm running for someone other than you then let me know their names. I'll be checking my list at every mile marker so I will know who I'm running for.

Memory Ribbons
27th April 2019This time next week I'll be a marathon runner. I'm under no illusion that it's going to hurt and break me, but I'm going to do it.
This week I'm going to be hammering these awesome memory ribbons made by Naomi. For a minimum £5 donation I'll run a mile for, or in memory of someone you love. In return you get a ribbon that has completed the London Marathon.
I'm running miles 4 & 6 for my girls so they will have a memento of the day. Mile 18 is for Stephen Lawrence because VMLM have dedicated mile 18 to him, and racism is stupid. The last 385 yards are for my cousin, Deborah Carr x
Please donate and let me know who I'm running for and which mile you would like. I will check my list at every mile marker on the day.
