Back in 2002 my wife, Nellie, lost her Mum - Jane Peckham-Cooper, when she was tragically taken away from her husband Trevor and her 7 children in a car accident. I never had the pleasure of meeting Jane and for me this challenge is a little way of showing my appreciation to her and her legacy, whilst being able to contribute to such an amazing charity which does such important work with the families who lose someone special.

This challenge is all in her memory and in what would have been her 70th year I have decided to run 7 marathons, one for each of the siblings, in a location of their choice in 7 consecutive days. It all kicks off on Monday 16th April 2018 in Edinburgh with marathon number one & then finishes on the 22nd April 2018 with the London marathon. For anymore information or to get in touch please go to my website and take a look; www.7marathonmatt.co.uk
