Hi I’m Joe Curry from Cookstown in Northern Ireland and On Saturday 25th April I will be running 26.2 miles, 1310 laps of my back garden to raise money for frontline workers. I have been running marathons and ultra marathons for various charities around the world but this will be a long and lonely mental challenge but will be easy compared to what frontline nhs staff are going through atm in the UK.
