Laura's London Marathon!!

I am fundraising to support all the amazing work that happens at Swings & Smiles. I am a (very) occasional runner so this is going to be a huge challenge for me, but not as much of a challenge as those that so many of our children, young people and families face - so if they can do it then so can I!!
