100K FOR MAGGIES

Hello, my name is Jack.

This summer, I’m taking on the biggest physical and mental challenge of my life — running 100km from Berwick-upon-Tweed to Edinburgh, hopefully finishing at Westwoods Health Club, all in support of Maggie’s, the incredible cancer support centre helping people and families navigate life with cancer.

Maggie’s offers free practical and emotional support to people living with cancer and their loved ones. They have helped so many take back control when cancer turns life upside down. Their work has had a powerful impact on many within our Westwoods community, and this run is my small way of giving back to something that means a lot.

On Friday 15th August, I’ll be setting off solo from the English border, running back home to Edinburgh, covering just over 100 kilometres of road and trail. I’ve never run a marathon before — so this will be more than double that — but I’m throwing myself into 14 weeks of committed training, fuelled by the belief in what Maggie’s stands for and the people they help.

If you’re able to donate, share the page, or even just send a few words of encouragement, it would mean a lot — and will definitely help keep me going when the miles get tough. I’ll also be running a few fundraising events at the club in the lead-up to the run, including a bake sale on Friday the 13th of June, so keep an eye out and get involved if you can!

Thank you so much for your support!

100k of character building incoming,

Jack
