I will be running my first marathon on Saturday 6 June, starting and finishing at Ram Meadow. I will enlist the help of some other Bury Town first team players to accompany me around the 26.2 mile course of the town and surrounding areas.

I am committing to 12 weeks of training where I will clock up over 400 miles in preparation for this run!

Initially, fundraising sought to cover the costs of season tickets for the 14 members of the Bury Town Ultras. These boys give superb vocal backing to Bury Town FC and we want to thank them for their continued support! This target was met in early April.

Following discussions with the Ultras, the target was raised to £2250. The additional funds sought to:

- Reward other worthy Bury Town fans (complimentary tickets, club shop vouchers etc). To nominate a fan, contact @ollyhughes87 on Twitter.

- Recognise the wonderful contributions of volunteers in the Bury Town FC community.

The £2250 target was achieved on 13/04/20 and the bar has been raised again. We are setting an ambitious target of raising a further £1000 to support the Bury Town youth teams.

Thank you for all of your kind messages and donations so far. Up the Town!
