Best friends Louisa Taylor and Louise Frizzelle from Milton Keynes have each claimed a charity place with Toybox at this year’s London Marathon.

“We will be joining Louisa and Louise at the quiz and can’t wait to cheer them on in London alongside the rest of our team of Toybox marathon runners. We really appreciate the support and hard work from the marathon runners, not just the physical training they challenge themselves to do, but the fundraising efforts alongside this to support Toybox.” Lynne Morris, CEO at Toybox

Louisa tells us more: “Running the London marathon is something we had both always wanted to do and finally last year we decided this was the year we would try and go for it, we knew would be a huge test for us as we weren’t runners. We heard about Toybox charity through Louise’s sister who had previously ran for them and both of us having such a special bond with our nieces we wanted a charity that would help children around the world, we were overjoyed when we found out we got a spot to run for them in the London marathon.”
