Episode 3, Julie Upton’s running journey from lamp post to lamp post to completing the London Marathon.

Julie Upton decided to start running triggered by the loss of a loved one and wanting to raise money for a cancer charity in memory of her beloved Liz. Liz was a special lady who had helped to care for both Julie and her sister when her own mum struggled with her mental health. Taking part in “Race For Life” was Julie's way of showing Liz her gratitude in saving Julie and her sister from being taken into care and recognition for the Love she felt for Liz. Julie took action and picked up her old school trainers partially chewed by her dog and with a baseball cap to maintain her anonymity set off! To put this into perspective Julie had not just left school and was aged 33 when she thought learning to run in her old school trainers was a great idea! This was the start of Julie's running ventures and didn't start and stop from her house to the lamp post at the top of her street. Julie went on to run the London marathon surrounded by the love of her family and new running family.
