My story

Lanfranco Gaglione was a legend for countless reasons, but perhaps what made him truly stand out was the way he managed to touch the lives of so many with his vitality and infectious enthusiasm. He displayed an unwavering air of positivity, made time for anyone and everyone that he met and always put others’ needs before his own.

 

Lan’s death in February last year was a shock and a tragedy and he’ll be sorely missed by everyone that was blessed to have met him. In memory of the legend we want to raise money for the charity CALM and awareness for the cause it promotes.

 

We’ll be running 10k at Regent’s Park, 5th May 2013 and warmly welcome anyone who wishes to join us, whether in the race itself, or through offering support. Please donate as much as you can to this very worthwhile cause.

 

Suicide is currently the single biggest killer in the UK among men under 35. CALM is a campaign and charity that offers support to young men through their helpline, magazine and online community and CALM listens to anyone who needs help or support.

So, the training is going well....I think....I'm up to being able to run a good 4k, only having to stop and walk a couple of times. Still a long way to go till the big day but if I can run 10k in an hour I'll be happy! Keep giving people :D
