Wendy Archibald is running the 2017 London Marathon.

Wendy says : " I felt I had to do something significant in 2017, the year in which I turned 60; So, 'why not run the London Marathon?', I thought. In addition to being a personal challenge it would be a wonderful opportunity to support MRF in memory of Hannah King.

Just over nine years ago Hannah's beautiful life was cruelly cut short by meningitis, just months before her 17th birthday.  Hannah, like my two gorgeous daughters, Liv and Abby, was a pupil at Putney High School, where I have had the pleasure of teaching for nearly fifteen years.
