So it&#x27;s no secret that on Sunday 21st April, i am taking on the London Marathon. Eeeeek! Whilst this isn&#x27;t my first time running, this time feels harder, more daunting, and somewhat overwhelming.This could be partly down to being older, the body feeling every ache from training and my new peloton obsession but more because i am running with personal purpose.In December of last year, i lost the most beautiful, determined, strongminded role model that i had the privilege of calling grandad.Grandad Tredge was lost to eventual heart failure. The beautiful man that he was believed you could achieve anything and i intend to try and harness that spirit and determination by running in his memory. I hope to make you proud grandad &lt;3With grandad as my driving force, i will be running for the British Heart Foundation, whom with the NHS gave grandad 15+ years of precious life following a heart bypass and later pacemaker surgery.I will also be running for Mind, the mental health charity. 1 in 4 people have mental health struggles however i believe it impacts us all in some form. I am incredibly passionate about raising awareness of the power of talking out what is in your head. I have a personal belief that a problem shared, is a problem halved. l also believe if you have a great mindset, you can go on and achieve ANYTHING. I plan to draw from this belief by trying to manage my mindset correctly and hopefully complete London.The British Heart Foundation and Mind are two charities that also form part of the Tesco Soft Drinks Health plan. A third of the nation do not drink enough water, with dehydration cited as driving secondary consequences on health including poor heart health and limiting brain function. It is therefore critical that we raise awareness of drinking the right amount of water for mind and body function. With our branded water partners alongside Mind and the British Heart Foundation, the hope is we can get the nation to drink even one extra glass of water a day.If i can contribute a small amount to give others the hope of added precious life through the British Heart Foundations amazing work and raise critical funds to help even just one person who is mentally struggling, that would be triumph.I appreciate any donation, no matter the size and i am personally super grateful, as would grandad Tredge.Lots of Love.Lauren x
