This year Mary and I have teamed up to raise money for a wonderful local charity, The Thomas Theyer Foundation. 

The foundation was set up by Thomas's family to honour his life and help other children and young people with additional needs. This help centres on increased opportunities for outdoor activities, but also includes counselling and vital respite care for the families.

We have been keen supporters of the charity for many years and given that the impact the lockdown has had on charity fundraising, we were both particularly keen to get actively involved in 2021. 

I have been lucky to get an official charity spot for the foundation at the London Marathon on 3rd October. Then, just a week later, Mary will be running the Manchester Marathon. Any support you can provide will be much appreciated; it will help spur us on during the months of training and, of course, we will helping raise much-needed funds for this fantastic local charity.
