Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Me & lewis are running a 50 mile ultra marathon around the Gower in South West Wales and raising money for the Ford Park Pavilion Cafe. 

To give some context, 50 miles is basically 2 marathons back to back, so it will be pretty hard, definitely worthy of twenty £ or more. 

We are funding raising for Forde Park Pavilion Cafe (https://ourpavilion.co.uk/) which provides employment opportunities for adults with different needs. 

The team behind project have worked hard to renovate the derelict building into a working cafe. The conversion is now complete, but the charity requires funding for staff and building maintenance.

The cafe holds a special place in my hard as it's dedicated to the memory of Frank Verwey (my dad) who was the inspiration for this community project.

So please give generously to this great cause and great challenge. 

The route is around the Gower peninsular, following the Welsh Coastal path. 

You can learn more about the route here: https://www.runwalkcrawl.co.uk/gower-coastal-trail-races

Thanks,

Bill & Lewis
