It's the London Marathon 2019. It's that time of the year again when the
26.2-mile race starts on the south of the Thames at Blackheath, passing
through Greenwich and crossing Tower Bridge before finishing on The
Mall, near Buckingham Palace. The London Marathon race has been
scheduled for the morning of Sunday April 28.
Just weeks after one of the most exciting Boston Marathon finishes in
history, runners across the Atlantic were preparing to run the London
Marathon.
The race has been scheduled for the morning of Sunday April 28. The
26.2-mile course will see runners travel through London, passing some of
the city's most historic locations, like London Bridge, the Tower of
London, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace.
Spectators and participants alike were sure to see some spectacular sportsmanship in a beautiful city. Weather for the day was calling for high temperatures near 60 degrees Fahrenheit and clouds — near-perfect running conditions.
Although I didn't sustain the physical injuries or worse that so many others unfortunately did, the events from that night in London have no doubt left their mark.
"I know for certain that many of my colleagues and fellow members of the blue-light family that responded to calls for assistance have been affected, but while this event was above and beyond the norm, emergency services personnel are faced with traumatic events on a daily basis all over the country. The atrocities at the Grenfell Tower fire and the terror attacks in London and Manchester in 2017 only serve to highlight this.
"It's been a seriously difficult two years since that night at London Bridge but this is my opportunity to raise money for a charity that's helped me and many others that I hold close."
"Before my diagnosis I was working hard, making my way through life as a 20-year-old woman. You then get thrown into hospital appointments, multiple procedures, surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy. My life changed dramatically.
