Lizi Raises £560 Running London Marathon

We are thrilled to celebrate Lizi Atkinson's incredible achievement in running the London Marathon on April 21st this year for Aldingbourne Trust. 

Lizi has a special connection to the Trust, having frequently visited Aldingbourne Country Centre when she was a PA for a young person with autism. She has seen firsthand the positive impact our services have, and for Lizi, Aldingbourne is a "safe and happy place for everyone" that was always at the top of her list for a Great Day Out. 

She is no stranger to the marathon scene, as this was her third one. Her first was a virtual run around Chichester, and she had the thrill of running the London Marathon for the first time just a couple of years ago. After securing a ballot place for this year, she was excited at the chance to run again. 

Lizi shared, "Race day was fantastic - such an electric atmosphere!". Despite hitting a tough spot after mile 20, the support from the crowds spurred her on to the finish line. 

Not one to rest on her laurels, Lizi then went and participated in the Worthing 10k just a week later. Now, as she takes a well-deserved break to focus on wedding planning, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks. Having raised £560, her fundraising efforts will make a significant difference to the work of the Trust. Congratulations from us all, Lizi!
