Story

On the 20th October I will be running the Amsterdam Marathon in memory of one of my closest friends Alex Payne who was tragically taken away from us 4 years ago.


Alex's passing has left a void in our lives that can never be filled for all friends and family that were touched by his life.

Some of the best memories of my life were directly linked to the kind, funny, bubbly and energetic character that Alex was. As we all look ahead in our lives without him, we know that his subconscious presence will live on with us. Albion in the Community, the charity I will be forwarding on donations to is involved in health programmes and social inclusions that is incredibly close to Alex's family - Who have already done incredible work for the area and the community.

I have not only spread the word to all his loved ones, but I have also rallied an army of our close group of friends to come and watch me cross the finish line (in a somewhat ridiculous target I have set myself...) and celebrate in a way that Alex would only be proud of!

To make the occasion even more special I will be running next to my closest and oldest friend Hugh Thomson who is doing amazing work for MS. I will be splitting all my donations between Albion in the Community and MS.


For those who knew Alex, the only words he would've had to say to this would be.... "that was properly naughty mate"


Any donations would be so warmly received and appreciated.


Thanks,

Jack
