Story

Hi all, I am running the london landmarks half marathon for Marie Curie on the 7th April 2024! They cared my Dad (Mel) and my farther in law (Billy) in their final stages of life. Marie Curie Solihull gave us as a family the dignity, care and kindness we needed in the hardest times I have ever experienced in my life so far! So, why not put myself through the hell of running a half marathon in there memory and try and raise a few quid to help other families who are going through hell. 

Just to add, I’m not a runner!  Run to the pub on a Friday night is more me! I signed up for the half marathon in July 23 and have been quietly training ever since, but I’m finding it hard as I’m a big lad. If you could spare a few quid to support my journey and more importantly support the last journey people are making with the kind help Marie Curie. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you all xxx 

Anyone fancy a pint in London on the 7th April when I finish your more than welcome. The beer will be on me. 🏃‍♂️😘
