Story

Full of cherished and loving memories of my Dad, the BBC broadcaster, Harry Gration MBE, I’ll be running the Yorkshire marathon this October. Being an experienced runner but never having ran such a distance before, I’ll be proudly following in his footsteps as I embark on this challenge to honour him and raise money for Myeloma UK. A charity close to my father’s heart, and one he supported because he also had this cancer in his later years, anything you can give will be so much appreciated- so thank you!

York is the centre of the 26.2 mile work, a city where we lived as a family and where Dad ran the inaugural Yorkshire marathon, as well as the London marathon in years gone by. He is a tough act to follow, but he will be pushing me on I know, and I look forward to sharing a special moment with the people of Yorkshire who knew him best and most lovingly. 

There’s only one Harry Gration! Thank you ❤️
