Anna Thorn

London Marathon Runner

I’m Anna, an avid knitter, keen netball player and lover of true crime – I am working my way through some great true crime podcasts on my training runs!

I’m very much a beginner runner; I have completed a 10k in 2019 and then run on and off since then so this is the biggest physical challenge I have taken on. At first I was very apprehensive but I am actually really enjoying the training and surprising myself by completing all the long runs so far! 

As a lover of nature and the great outdoors, the work Brathay does really resonated with me. I was fortunate to experience many outdoor activities growing up and they are some of my favourite memories as well as still enjoying these activities as an adult.

The experiences and support they offer to the kids they work with is so important in helping them find their confidence, passions and next steps.
