Story

I am taking on my biggest challenge yet…I’m running my first ever marathon, yes MARATHON, Loch Ness Marathon I should add!! A whole 26.2 miles in my trainers...Wow!! 

Having only taken up running properly a year ago and never entering a road race before, this is an incredible challenge for me, the distance is huge but also taking in the hours I’m dedicating to the long training runs on the lead up to the race on 3rd October 2021, most of which are being done on ‘dreadmills’ (treadmills) while working offshore.

I decided to raise money for  ‘Friends of Anchor’, a local charity who offer support to cancer patients, a charity that’s also close to a lot of my family and friends.

If you can spare any loose pennies (or pounds) it would be hugely appreciated, and spur me to keep going! 

Thanks so much…. Gary!
