Imogen to run Southampton Marathon in aid of us

Imogen Naegeli from Southampton will be running the half marathon race in the ABP Southampton Marathon event in April (2023) in aid of us. The 21-year-old was challenged to take on the run by her sister, Chloe.

Mental and physical challenge

Imogen said: “I am really looking forward to running the half marathon race at this year’s ABP Southampton Marathon event. My sister Chloe works for the charity, so I am well aware of the fantastic work it does. I wanted to do my bit to contribute towards it.

“I’ve been running on and off for more than three years and feel it is a mental challenge as well as a physical challenge for me. I want to be able to say I’ve completed it and see improvements in my fitness levels. I can’t wait to get to the starting line!”

Can you run or walk and fundraise for us?

The ABP Southampton Marathon, which encompasses a 10km, half marathon and full marathon, takes place on Sunday, April 2, 2023. Communicare is still looking for people to run or walk and fundraise for it.

We’re delighted Imogen has decided to run for us. There is still time for others to sign up to run for us. If any confident runners are interested in a new challenge and want to get involved, they can call 023 8250 0050 or email events@communicareinsouthampton.org.uk. Why not find out more and apply?

By running or walking for our charity, you’ll be helping us beat loneliness and isolation in our city.

We ask that anyone who enters for us raises a minimum of £50 for the 10k and half marathon and £60 for the full marathon, plus a £10 registration fee. A Communicare running t-shirt and sponsorship forms will be provided. We also have tips for fundraising and there will be lots of encouragement on the day from our ‘Communicheerers’.
