“Marathoning. The Triumph of Desire over Reason”

Jane Kinghorn and Stephanie Marshall.
Jane and Stephanie.

Jane Kinghorn will be putting the slogan to the test at this year’s London Marathon – albeit she does have a very good reason for taking part.

Here, in Jane’s own words, is why she will be attempting her first marathon and raising money for CRY’s general funds:

“I’m sure I’m just one of many to say I feel lucky to have been able to call Claire a friend.
I met her at the BBC just after Tom had died.
We moved from colleagues to chums – and what a friend she was.
Her energy and her wit unmatched.
Looking out for me – when her plate was already full. That’s why  I ran the Great North Run for Tom and why I’m attempting London for them both.
A good friend said Claire would be laughing out loud at the thought of me running London and with good reason.
61 is an odd age to attempt your first and last marathon,  especially when you haven’t run for a decade.
She’s worth every step.
We won’t be breaking  any records – we’re just hoping to cross the line before everyone packs up for home – then we can toast a glorious friend.”

Jane and her pal, Stephanie, are both running for CRY. You can read the full story about why – and sponsor them – here.

Walk for Tom, Claire and Gordon, too @CRY_UK

Tom’s grandpa, Claire’s dad, Gordon Prosser, who died on Saturday, May 27 aged 91, was a great supporter of CRY.

Gordon was a familiar sight on the Heart of London Bridges Walk. He first completed the circuit in 2008 when he was 76 and he continued to do so into his late eighties. He was said to have been the oldest person to have taken part. 

If you would like to take part in this year’s walk, on Sunday June 25, you can register here.

As with every other charity, the pandemic made raising funds and awareness that much harder and so we’d really appreciate as many people as possible signing up for Team Tom 16. Sadly, Gordon won’t be there to walk with us but I’ll still picture him striding along.
