Story

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit this page!

As your reading this I'm probably on the road training for the Windsor Half Marathon which is happening on the 25th of September this year.

Why?

Because a dear friend, Richard Tyrell sadly passed away in December of last year due to a medical condition. Richard was a very successful young man; he played Rugby to a high level, had a very promising career, a wonderful fiancée and to me he a HUGE inspiration!

Richard is of course a GREAT loss to the WORLD and is missed dearly by all that knew him.

I am running in honour of Richard and supporting Diabetes UK. Diabetes is a common and SERIOUS health condition affecting 2.8 million people UK and it is estimated that 850,000 people who have the condition don’t know they have it. The money raised will go to the funding of research into prevention and hopefully one day a cure of this life-long disease.

So please sponsor me and my team and together we can raise money to help the lives of the millions of PEOPLE affected by diabetes.

Thank you once again and have a great day!
