Hello - I’m sorry I’ve been a little bit MIA on here, I’ve recently started a new job, and while I’ve been finding my feet with that it’s definitely meant I’ve let posting slip a little. Mission Better is still very much up and running though, and I’m hugely grateful for everyone who has been placing orders - it means a lot! 💙
I also wanted to share on here that I’ve been doing a lot more running recently - as I’m going to be running the London Marathon in 2026 for the Army Benevolent Fund 💚❤️ I still can’t believe it!
The is a national charity which provides long-term support to soldiers, veterans, and their families. They don’t receive any government funding, so their work depends completely on the generosity of supporters. From young children to elderly veterans, the ABF helps people both in the UK, and around the world.
Earlier this year my dad lost his best friend Alex, who worked with the Army Benevolent Fund for many years. It will be an honour to run for a charity that meant so much to Alex and my Dad, who both served in the forces. I’m looking forward to running the marathon to prove to myself that I can do anything, as well as to pay tribute to Alex.
I would be absolutely over the moon if you would like to sponsor me here https://events.armybenevolentfund.org/fundraisers/emmamcknight/londonmarathon2026
