CAN YOU RUN A MARATHON FOR REVERSE RETT?

by Andy Stevenson

For many, running a Marathon is on their bucket list.

If raising money is your main goal for taking on a challenge then a Marathon is top of the list for maximising donations Months of training and the toil of running 26 2 miles inspires giving like no other event.

Much of this is because of the London Marathon The wall-to-wall coverage of the carnival like atmosphere each April inspires people to donate and gets many of them off the couch and into their running shoes.

Unfortunately, like many small charities, Reverse Rett can’t get guaranteed charity places for London but that doesn’t mean we can’t secure YOU a marathon place at one of the other amazing events around the UK and Europe.

This year we have guaranteed charity places at a number of big city Marathons including Edinburgh, Brighton, Manchester, Paris, Barcelona and Amsterdam. We already have a growing team for Amsterdam in October including Giedre who is running after being inspired by Elsie.

"Running the Amsterdam Marathon is a dream come true for me

It is a prestigious race that attracts thousands of runners and is one of the fastest courses, great for beating your personal best.

I am honored to run for Reverse Rett and Elsie, who need our help to find a cure for Rett Syndrome."

I’ve run 5 Marathons with 2 of them being the London Marathon and believe me, the pain and sense of achievement at the finish line is exactly the same whether it’s London, Loch Ness, Leeds or Manchester.
