I am Running the Leicester half marathon in aid of the recovery of my Dad Stew Gray. My Dad was brutally attacked at the Euro's in Marseille by Russian Ultra's leaving him in a coma in France. After spending three weeks in a Marseille hospital, Dad was transferred to a UK hospital by helicopter at great expense.

My Dad remains at the General Hospital where he is receiving tremendous care by lots of lovely health care proffessionals. He has shown very encouraging progress however, he will be in hospital for an specifiable amount of time and is unlikely to be able to work for the foreseeable future.

This is my first organised run and I'm extremely nervous because at school I wasn't ever able to finish the 1500 meters, obviously 13 miles is substantially more challenging.

Please donate as he is a great Dad and a lovely bloke
