Story
PC Kevin Silver explains: In an attempt to stay fit I have been a member of a local running club (Hayle Runners in Cornwall) since 2013 and I have applied to run in the London marathon a few times before, but I have never made it through the ballot process.
I applied again for the 2017 race expecting the usual “Sorry not this time message” and to be honest on applying I was at my lowest fitness level for some time, having had a few niggling injuries that made it easier for me to just sit at home watching television, eating and drinking rather than go out training with my running club in the rain.
However when I had the “You’re in” pack drop through my door (and once the shock eased off) I have tried to get back into training for what is a totally self-funded event for me.
Kevin explains “On getting a self-funded place I started to get the usually requests from the well-known and very worthy charity organisations asking if I would raise money for their good causes. I have raised funds for big charities before but this time I wanted to do something for us as a Police family”
As such Kev decided to run for a new Police charity called: KRESLU and he explains why:
KRESLU Police Charity is a small charity which provides support to police officers, staff and volunteers injured at work, based in Cornwall & Isles of Scilly, or those from outside of Cornwall who are injured here.
Any support from friends, family, fellow police and emergency service colleagues would be gratefully received.
