I am running my first marathon in order to support Macmillan and give back to a vitally important charity who were there to support my grandad and grandma last year when their help was needed the most. My target is to raise £600 but I really hope we can collectively beat that target by as much as possible.

Having had an inspirational grandad in my life who had only ever had a positive impact on the world - I hope raising money in his memory like this is one way in which I can follow in his shining example. 

The idea came from my younger sister - she had already committed to running the marathon for Macmillan and she invited me along to join her, so here we go - brother and sister team :) If you're feeling especially generous, please also visit her JustGiving page below:

The 2021 Brighton Marathon takes place on Sunday, 18 April 2021* - I will be running regularly until the new year hits and then I'll start a full marathon training plan - updates will be posted on this page so you can see what runs I've done and how  things are going. I want to finish with a respectable time so I'm aiming to finish in under 4 hours 30 minutes.

*UPDATE

The marathon was moved to Sunday, 12th September 2021 and will be going ahead by all accounts!

Thanks for reading and a big thank you to those who donate,

Danny
