Story

As a tribute to my amazing wife Sarah who passed away in March this year I am attempting to run "The Treble" in Edinburgh. Unfortunately due to a significant knee injury I’ve had to postpone the races until 2025. However that does give me more time to fundraise for Maggies (and hopefully train!).

The treble is a series of three races which comprises of

The E2NB20 - The Edinburgh to North Berwick 20 mile coastal road race. Usually the 1st Saturday in May 2025.

The Edinburgh marathon. Sunday 25th May 2025

The Edinburgh seven hills race. Usually a Sunday mid June 2025

Sarah and I decided any kind donations should go to Maggies Cancer Support, as our family have benefitted from the use of both the Edinburgh and Manchester Centres.

Sarah’s memorial page can be found here

For Sarah and I the relaxing non-clinical and normalising environment created provided a welcome break from the medical battle Sarah and the amazing Christies team were fighting over the road.

For me Maggies also provided a space where I could sit and do work or just listen to my headphones whilst Sarah had treatments or procedures where I couldn't be present.

Two of Sarah's life passions have been architecture and design. These two important parts of Sarah's life are so distinct at Maggies that it feels like Sarah designed the environment herself.

Much Love and thanks - Tim
