Anyone who lives within a 10-mile radius of Shillingstone may have spotted charity worker Alice Chapman training
for the London Marathon, which takes place this Sunday
(2 October).
Alice works for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, and will be raising money for the organisation which has provided practical, emotional and financial support to members of the Forces and their families since 1885.
This is Alice’s third marathon – she completed the last one about four years ago – and training after turning 40 has been challenging at times, although she has had the encouragement of 10-year-old daughter Olivia on longer runs.
Alice would appreciate any donations wellwishers can make to support SSAFA – contributions are welcome up to a month after the event. To sponsor her visit tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/alice-chapman-90408
