CONNOR BLUNDELL: In October 2020, I fell 4 meters and suffered a brain injury. I spent a month in a coma and eight months in hospital. I learned to walk again, to talk again, and to run again with the help of physios, friends, and family. I did good for age place for delayed to COVID-19 London Marathon. But I missed the first date, because I was in a coma at the time.
In April 2024, I hope to fulfill my dream of running the London Marathon. This been a long journey. But I've always had clean water and a roof over my head. This is not the case for all. And that's why I'm using this opportunity to raise money for two fantastic charities-- WaterAid and Crisis UK. Please give whatever you can. Thank you.
