Hi everyone,

To mark the first phase of my mid-life crisis, I’m attempting to do a half marathon in May, raising money for Hackney Night Shelter, a charity local to me that provides emergency accommodation for 26 people who would otherwise be sleeping on the streets. Staying at Hackney Night Shelter means a safe space to sleep, hot meals, and the support needed to move on to longer term accommodation for over 150 people every year.

I’ve never done a “proper” run before, and never attempted a half marathon, so this could well be my first and last attempt! I’m grateful for any amounts - small or large - to help boost me on and help raise some much needed funds for a good cause.

Thanks for your support!

Max
