Big hearted Comms Dealer Sales Exec' Sophie Timms has successfully completed the Wimbledon Half Marathon and invited the channel to support her Sparks charity long distance running campaign in the lead up to next year's London Marathon on April 23rd.
"It was a tough run," she said. "The rain made the whole course muddy and slippery!"
With a Half Marathon time of 2 hours 33 minutes under her belt Timms is confident she can run below 5.5 hours next spring.
"I have a personal trainer to help me strengthen my legs, back and core, as well as increase my lung capacity," she added.
"And I'm entering as many half marathons as possible in the run up to the main event."
Completing the Wimbledon Half Marathon is an achievement inspired by the charity work undertaken by Sparks and Timms' dedication to raising as much sponsorship as possible in support of the kids charity.
"If someone had told me this time last year that I would be running the 2017 London Marathon, I would have laughed," she said.
"Sparks has been so kind to take me on this journey. If you could donate, even just £1, to my Just Giving page then you can help me to help them."
