Jimmy Doyle will be running the London Marathon later this year for Maggie’s. He aims to raise as much as possible for this great cause.

Having never run more than a half marathon, Jimmy has been training with some short runs and will ramp up the training with a 12-14 week training plan, plus some encouragement from friends that have completed marathons before.

Jimmy is keen to help out charities, having previously raised money for Help for Heroes and Maggie’s, and assisted in DIY SOS Big Build, as well as regular assistance for local schools. He is running the London Marathon to help the HE Simm Group hit its charity target for Maggie’s

Jimmy says: "I think if everyone could put a little effort into helping out people in need a bit more, things could move at a much faster pace and get them back on their feet again as every little helps. I am also a firm believer that what goes around comes around and would like to think if I was in need friends and family would be there for me and support a cause close to my heart."
