Rome Marathon · 19 March 2023

Mary’s Meals is a global movement that sets up school feeding programmes in communities where poverty and hunger prevent children from gaining an education. The charity now feeds more than 2.6 million children every school day and it costs just £19.15/€22.00 to feed a child for a year.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi Folks, I ran my last marathon 4 years ago to celebrate my 60th birthday (which was intended to be my last). Then COVID arrived  which put a stop to most activities including my running. Like most of my fellow running friends I went into hibernation.Then one day I listened to a lady presenting  a talk about the charity Mary’s Meals which inspired me to dust off my running shoes and sign up to the Rome Marathon. 

At present I am halfway into my training which has been very difficult due to a chest cold pre Christmas.  As most runners would know training for a Spring marathon can be very hard due to pure weather conditions and the short daylight. I am very grateful for the company of Big Tony and my son Connor who have joined me on the long training runs. 

Every donation counts and would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Doc.
