Grace Smashes Marathon & Fundraising Targets!
Posted on 23/10/2025
A HUGE congratulations to Grace, one our amazing volunteers who absolutely smashed the Yorkshire Marathon, on Sunday, 19th October.
Running for Door 84, her original fundraising goal was an ambitious £500. But thanks to the incredible generosity of friends, family and community members, she hasn’t just hit it – she has smashed it, currently raising over £1000!
The money raised will make a huge difference to the lives of the young people and community members that Door 84 supports.
Grace shared her thoughts on the monumental challenge.
“The marathon was definitely not easy, with my legs feeling achy way earlier than I would have liked them too! However, I kept going with the help of so many supporters including my family and friends.
It was such a surreal experience to run over that finish line, and I am still processing the many emotions from the day.
I am so proud to have been able to support Door 84, and have raised over £1000 to help the people they support.”
A massive thanks to all who donated and and a huge congratulations to Grace for her immense physical effort and her success in fundraising.
She is a true inspiration!
