Tim Lemon

I'm taking part in the TCS London Marathon as part of #TeamStroke

After 13 years of trying, I have finally been accepted into the London Marathon again. And as it is such a big race, I wanted to fundraise again for it.

I know I have done a lot of marathons now, and I am very grateful for everyone that has sponsored in the past, but to make this race a bit different I have decided I will run it dressed as a giant lemon!

If you didn't already know, the reason why I started fundraising by running marathons is because my Mum suffered a stroke and passed away very suddenly in 2005, when I was still a teenager. Since then I've run 38 Marathons across the world, raising over £5000 for the Stroke Association.

So if you want to see me look like a fool in my giant Lemon costume, please dig deep and see if you can find some loose change down the back of the sofa or an unwanted fiver burning a hole in your pocket to help raise enough money, it will mean a lot to me and all my family.

Thank you very much for letting me take up your time and reading this message, now go and get your credit card and get sponsoring!!!
