My Story

Thanks for visiting our page!!

Through Ithaca’s charity link with VSA, we have seen firsthand the wonderful work which they do within the local community here in Aberdeen. Whether it’s to babies and young children, those in their later years, or anyone in between, VSA provides essential and unwavering support to Aberdonians, and has done for over 150 years.

We are delighted to run as part of the VSA 2025 London Marathon squad to raise vital funds for this wonderful charity. Whilst we have completed half marathons previously, we haven’t ever managed anything like the full 26.2 miles, so this will be a huge challenge for us both – so we’re extra glad to have the support of each other!

We plan to share some of our Strava training runs on this page. Whilst these will no doubt be long, freezing cold and very wet (the joys of training through the Scottish winter!), it’ll be well worth it when we (hopefully!) cross the finish line on the day, having raised funds and awareness for VSA! We’re SO grateful for any donations and support that you can give.
