Dear Family and Friends,

As you may know, I have been training for the last 16 months to run a sub 3:00 marathon. It is ten years since I run my first, and only other, marathon in Manchester. I had wanted to run again in that great city but for the longest time, it looked like I would not be able to get an entry. Then, quite unexpected, the British Heart Foundation had a charity ticket that I could run under. So to show my gratitude, I am running the event and fundraising for the BHF.

While I have already hit my goal of going faster than 3:00 at the 2025 Newport Marathon. I'm going to go for a 2:45 in Manchester, shaving 8 minutes off my current PB. That's quite an undertaking and I would be honoured if you would support me and the BHF in making it happen.

Much love to you all,

Alex
