On Sunday 27th April, Hatty Wilson, HR Advisor at Reds10 proudly crossed the finish line of the London Marathon 2025 after running an impressive 26.2 miles in aid of CRASH’s work with homelessness charities and hospices.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a record number of runners taking part, spectators lined the streets in their thousands to cheer participants on, and Hatty\u2019s friends and family were there every step of the way \u2013 providing just the boost she needed during the toughest moments of the race.\u00a0Hatty tackled the challenge in an amazing 4 hours and 47 minutes, staying cool by running through showers and pouring water over her head throughout the course. She battled knee pain at the 25km mark but, spurred on by the roaring crowds and support from loved ones – kept going all the way to the finish line.<\/p>\n

In the months leading up to the marathon, Hatty set up Reds10 Run Club to help with her training; with colleagues joining her on regular runs, Hatty stayed motivated and powered through cold winter evenings and long-distance sessions. Thanks to her dedicated training and the generosity of colleagues, friends, and family, Hatty smashed her fundraising target and raised an incredible \u00a33,465<\/strong>. This vital funding will make a real difference to CRASH\u2019s work \u2013 helping to create safe, welcoming spaces for people experiencing homelessness and those receiving hospice care.<\/p>\n

From struggling to run 3km last August to completing 42km in April, Hatty\u2019s journey has been nothing short of inspiring. Though she says she won\u2019t be signing up for another marathon anytime soon, she plans to continue running \u2013 just at a less intense level!<\/p>\n

A huge congratulations and thank you to Hatty \u2013 your incredible effort, positivity, and fundraising will have a lasting impact. We\u2019re so proud to have you on Team CRASH!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Reflecting on the day, Hatty shared: <\/h2>\n \n \n

I am so pleased I managed to raise more than I was aiming for, for CRASH, everyone has been so generous which is amazing and definitely helped keep me motivated. I know the money is going to a great cause which is an amazing feeling. The crowds and support were absolutely crazy and it was the best experience (whilst also being the worst and hardest thing I\u2019ve ever done). I definitely won\u2019t be doing another marathon but hope to keep up running to a less intense level! I\u2019m so happy I\u2019ve done it and proud to say I\u2019ve gone from struggling to run 3km in August to running 42km in April!<\/p>\n
