Abs has been running in the Great South Run for the last 3 years raising a lot of money for different charities within the community. This year however he has set himself a challenge to record his best time yet whiles raising funds for Naomi House and Jacksplace Hospice in Portsmouth. Abs attends and volunteer on a regular basis to help run Urbond activities and has been very impressed with the way everyone regardless of their backgrounds are made to feel welcome in an open and relaxed environment
