Hello There,

What wonderful, warm Spring weather last weekend. I hope you made some time to get out and enjoy the sunshine. It just makes everyone and everything seem so much better. More of that please! 

Firstly I must apologise for last weeks newsletter or non- newsletter ... I was trying out a new platform and had a few technical issues, and it frustratingly failed to send. So back to what I am familiar with using for the time being.

A reminder that there will be NO Saturday classes at Monks Walk this week 15th March and NO LIVE M&M on Monday 17th. Please use the online library of course in place of. All other classes will run as normal. Heads up for Monks Walk classes Saturday 5th April that will both will run 30 minutes EARLIER tht week as I am conducting a Wedding that day.

I mentioned how sunshine is certainly something that can help lift the mood but of course it is not necessarily a solution to those with mental health issues. Low mood or mental health issues is something we can all probably relate to, to a greater of lesser degree .This weeks spotlight focuses on some simple actions to help ourselves and those around us.

Big news on the London Marathon Fundraising left me stunned  this week as you will read. I hope you are now entered for the CRUK Race for Life event with me in May - something we can do together as a little fitness challenge for a fantastic cause.

 Food matters is a delicious 'alternative ' to a Sunday roast which Gary and I tried last week. Simple and totally delicious - we'll be doing that one again!

Have a great week and I'll see you in classes and online

Love Lindsey xxx

TCS London Marathon Blog 2025 - 

The ' Very Last One' !!!........6 weeks to go >>>>

With just 6 weeks to go, fundraising has gone through the roof with donations. Last week on my personal Facebook page I invited people to sponsor one of the 26.2 miles of the Marathon. For a minimum donation of £5, I will run each mile of the London Marathon dedicated to the person who sponsored that particular mile.

The response was incredible and the original £500 target has now almost doubled. 

This really helped cheer me up,  having taken a fall 4 miles on last Sunday mornings training run with my Marathon sister Natalie (pictured). A little bruised and battered, we nonetheless completed our planned 8 miles and I am pleased to report no lasting damage. Thank you for all the messages but more so all the fabulous donations so far. Still a handful of miles available if I can run one for you or a loved one - head over to my personal Facebook page to see which  are still available.

The training and fund raising continues....

Fundraising for the Welwyn Hatfield Parkinson's Group is now heading towards £1000, at a fantastic £946.00 (including cash donations)

I can't thank you enough 

£946.00 SO FAR!

Thank you so muchly xxx
