Story

Having promised my knees after the last London Marathon I'd never run any further than the shops again, a friend asked if I'd be interested in 'one or two more' runs for a friends charity. It was impossible to say no after understanding what this charity does. 

The charity was set-up in 2019 after the Founder unexpectedly & very sadly lost his Wife at just 35 to Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS). Out of something so tragic came one positive- The Carli Lansley Foundation (carlilansleyfoundation.org.uk)

The charity's focus is simple: 

1) to cover the cost of holding ECG screenings for young people aged 14-35 who may otherwise not have sufficiently swift access to one; 

2) to fund public defibrillators.

Every Penny matters. Every Penny can be followed from donation to screening or defib unit. Any support, no matter the amount, will make a difference.

Finally, the challenge part. I'm having a crack at my PB (1.31.56) set about 20-years ago. If I beat it, I'll add a further donation myself. There's a chance...

As ever, thank you Everyone- you are amazing.

Simon
