Story

To those that know me well I will not strike you as.....a runner....more a sitter.....

That aside I am running a Marathon, yes, the first Brighton Marathon no less.

I am running it for two charities, the Martletts Hospice and the Grown-Up Congenital Heart Patients Association  - www.justgiving.com/atullett-GUCH

So why the Martlets?

Some years ago my grandfather spent the last few months of his life under the excellent care of the Martlets Hospice in Brighton, their excellent care and fantastic welcome was a great help at a difficult time for my whole family.  Since then I have tried, whenever I can, to donate to the Martlets.  I have not done this as often as I would like and, as a result, I wanted to ensure I did something big at some point....running a marathon counts I think!

For those that don't know my middle names are Eben and Ronald, both my Grandfathers first names, unfortunately I never met Eben, my maternal grandfather, but I did know Ronald, my father’s father very well - I know he would not believe for a second I would run a marathon, but I know he would be impressed if I could!! They do great work, so sponsor them as much as you can!

My employer, Jardine Lloyd Thompson, will double any donations made so thanks to them as well!!!

Thanks

Alex
