Story

I started running this time last year and it gave me great satisfaction and headspace. When I run I zone out and think about people, one of them being my uncle who I never met as he died of a brain tumour when he was young. I’ve lost friends and know friends who have lost family and I want to honour them and raise some dosh. I’m starting training on the 6/4/2021 and the Marathon is on the 12th of September. I’m aiming for a sub 4 hour run and your support will give me that extra drive to achieve it. Any donation is massively appreciated! Thank you.
