Gemma’s Marathon Fundraising for Cornwall Air Ambulance Gathers Momentum

Following the inspiring story of how a family emergency led Gemma Wotherspoon to take on the challenge of running the London Marathon in support of Cornwall Air Ambulance, her fundraising and training are now in full swing.

Fundraising Progress

Gemma has been busy organising fundraising events and is already making great strides towards her goal of raising £2,000. So far, she has raised an impressive £677, thanks to the generosity of local businesses, kind-hearted strangers, and friends who have donated prizes for her events.

To support her efforts, Gemma has set up a JustGiving page where people can contribute: JustGiving – Gemma Wotherspoon.

Upcoming Events

Gemma has planned a series of events to boost her fundraising total, including quiz nights and bingo nights in Bodmin:

Training for the Marathon

Gemma is also fully committed to her training, having already clocked 14 miles and aiming for another 14 miles this weekend. She has taken part in the Storm 10 (10 miles) and Newquay 10K races and has a packed race schedule in March, which includes:

• Looe 10 Miler – Known as “Hillish and Hellish” due to its challenging hills, this race also raises money for Cornwall Air Ambulance.
• Three additional races that will help her prepare for the London Marathon.

With her fundraising and training well underway, Gemma is calling on the community to get involved. Whether it’s by attending an event, donating a prize, or making a contribution to her JustGiving page, every bit of support helps Cornwall Air Ambulance continue their life-saving work.
