Hi my name is Ben. I’m taking a gap year before attending university and want to raise money for some awesome causes, push myself out of my comfort zone and meet new people. I’ve been running for about three years now and finally decided it was time to attempt the next stage in my journey: a marathon.

Exeter City Community Trust is a charity that works directly with Exeter City Football Club to promote physical activity and positive mental health among people of all ages and backgrounds. Running and cycling has personally been a major source of positivity in my life and I believe that active communities are healthy and happy ones. The work that the trust does encourages everyone to get involved in some form of physical activity, especially those who are disadvantaged.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I would be massively grateful if you could donate, or even just share this page with your friends or family.

If you’d like to follow my training for this event, you can find my Strava profile here: https://strava.app.link/UZtQNZRD1Sb
