Broadcast on Thursday 14th April 2016. Our guest was double Olympic gold medallist Dame Kelly Holmes, MBE, DBE who is currently in training for the London Marathon taking place on Sunday 24th April. She has set herself a target to raise £250,000 for 5 charities before the end of the year through sponsorship and fundraising events. Listen to the show to hear about the challenges she has been facing during her marathon training, and the heart felt reasons why she has chosen the five charities in particular:
- Dame Kelly Holmes Trust
- The Pickering Cancer Drop-in Centre Tunbridge Wells
- Hospice in the Weald
- Mind
