In 2021 Dave Orton helped me recover from a calf injury which prevented me from running for a few months. Fortunately I am now able to run again and so have signed up for two half marathons in 2022, Ealing in September and Bruges in October.

I found out recently that Dave and his wife Gemma and their son Harry tragically lost their son and brother Freddie. I would like my half marathons to raise money for a charity which is close to their hearts and is helping them with their loss. The Bodie Hodges Foundation who support bereaved families in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
