Story

On June the 11th I will be running (hopefully!) the Swansea Half Marathon to raise money for Maggies Cancer Care Swansea. 🏃🏻‍♂️ 

Just over a year ago my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer and Maggies is a charity that helped my mother throughout her treatment so I am running the half to raise funds to support the charity! 

We have held several events throughout the year to raise money for maggies such as Curry Nights and Golf Days, but this is by far the most stressful one yet! 😬

Sunday will be a massive challenge for me having never run much more than 10km in my life and having only started training in the last 2/3 weeks (due to the rugby season over running). But I will give everything I’ve got to run this half from start to finish knowing it’s going to such a deserving charity. I am hoping to complete the half in under 3 hours & still be conscious at the finish line 🤞🏼
