Story

As many of you know, Sheila and I have been running together for more than 15 years since we first started with a Beveridge Park "run for life". We have completed several marathons and decided that we need to do a final 5th one before we get too old for it (good grief!). We decided it should be one of the big ones. 

We have been fortunate to both get “good for age” entries into London 2023 therefore training now for April. Although we didn’t plan to run for a charity, we decided that as we have both lost good friends to brain cancer in recent years (Andy Girdwood in 2019 and Scott McCallum  in 2022), we felt it would be worthwhile to setup a just giving page and ask our friends and family to donate to the “Brain Tumour Charity “ in their memory. All funds raised to go towards helping to find a cure for this terrible illness” . 

We thank you for any support you can provide.
