Story

I have now ran the marathon in a time off  2 hours 59 mins 38 sec  

Many thanks to everyone who has kindly donated

My name is John McLaughlin. I am 47 years of age and for the last 8 years have been a keen distance runner. For the last 31 years I have worked  at  Art & Industrial Engraving, which is a small family run company. Through my work I met my good friend Roy Lees and for almost 3 decades now I have been aware of Teen Challenge (Strathclyde),  a Christian run charity which operates across central Scotland to help people who have developed life controlling problems, especially drug / alcohol addictions. Having seen first hand the difference Teen Challenge can make to people's lives, and the tireless work done by Roy Lees, Donald Ross and Bill Kerr to name but a few, I would like now to try through my marathon running to raise as much money as possible for this needy charity,  I  would appreciate and more importantly, Teen Challenge, would greatly appreciate any contributions you may wish to offer financial

 Many thanks

John McLaughlin
