An appreciation post for my INSANE support crew last Sunday!

Seeing them at mile 12 and 23.5 was everything! They walked miles, battled the crowds, and were steadfast in the support. It was amazing to see them on my way.

Special thanks to my sister who organised it all and screamed the loudest and never faltered in her belief I could do it throughout the training and the wobbles.

I felt so much love, they were all so amazing. I’m so deeply grateful to have the most amount of love in my life.

1. Mile 12 - the biggest cheers
2. Mile 23.5 - the absolute relief to see them after I had passed the cheer point and couldn’t see them at the time
3. The look of love for my nephews at 23.5
4. A cheeky wink to let them know I had this as 23.5
5. The best cuddles with my fave tiny humans
6. The 2nd best beer of my life
7. The gorgeous Mia
8. More cuddles with my fave tiny humans
9. FaceTiming on the train to the start line
10. More mile 23.5 support
11. Young hearts run free at mile 12
12. Patient little nephews waiting
13. The actual winners of the day on their way with the amazing signs I’ll keep forever

An extra special thank you to @cardiacriskintheyoung for letting me run for them! 🖤 it meant more than I can ever express. A cause so close to my heart as someone with Long QT Syndrome who has finally achieved my dream of running my first (and definitely not last) marathon.
