Story

I always said when I hung the football boots up I would run a marathon so now is the time to keep my word and raise some money for a good cause along the way.

I enjoy a challenge so thought a marathon would do the trick. I’m aiming to get as close to the 3 hour mark as possible and also raise as much money as possible.

Training is well under way and I will post updates as I go. 

‘Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life.’ - Nelson Mandela

About the charity

1000 children in Inverclyde will not have a holiday, not be clothed properly and feel marginalised. Britain is the sixth largest economy in the world with more millionaires than ever,so why have 330,000 food parcels been handed out to hungry children, with Inverclyde accounting for 4000 of these parcels. It’s time to think Mission statement: Tackle Child Poverty Promote Equality Stimulate Children Encourage Participation Poverty can have a profound impact on the child, their family, and the rest of society. It often sets in motion a deepening spiral of social exclusion, creating problems in education, employment, mental and physical health and social interaction.
