Welcome to my biggest running challenge yet. I aim in April to run 2 Marathons in 2 Weeks to raise £2222.00 for the Together Trust. Both the Paris Marathon April 7th and London April 21st.

Having not run this distance for 20 years, i decided last year, as i turned 50, to see if i had another marathon in me. With the encouragement and support of a friend, i started ticking up the miles again. With Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot, a clicky ankle (previous rugby injury) and creaky knees the challenge was before me. Having successfully got around Manchester in April 2023 and raising a small sum for the Trust, i have decided to increase the challenge this year. Please get behind me and support me with whatever you can afford, every amount given is truly appreciated and all goes to our front line services. I will keep you updated on progress, which so far consists of early morning runs in darkness over the Bollington hills.

I am so proud of the work of the Together Trust who for over 150 years, have been championing and caring for children and young adults with disabilities, autism and complex health needs and providing life-changing support for care-experienced people in the North West. We support and care for over 3000 wonderful service users every year and yet still have huge waiting lists for those with whom we would also love to work if we can. My personal connection with this charity runs deep and i would be the first Chair to attempt to run marathons to raise these essential funds for the brilliant work that we do. Please support me and the Together Trust. Smiles as ever. Giles
