hello all,

At the beginning of this year, I tried my chances and entered the London marathon 2026 for the first time. Through luck, I was selected. As part of the marathon, I have decided to run for a charity in rayleigh and surrounding areas (supporting Carers And Families Together, SCAFT) with whom I have close connections and would like to raise money for this supporting charity. I would like to run this event as a gesture of goodwill, and to complete a challenge, I have no time set to complete this run but to only finish the marathon to support this excellent charity.

This hard working charity supports children ages 6-18 who are caring for their parent/guardian/sibling wheather it be for a disability, non terminal and terminal illness, etc. The children from this charity have said "SCAFT is our lifeline," or "I wouldnt be where I am today without SCAFT." These young carers are going through a tough time at such a young age, before they've reached adulthood so I politely say donations would be appreciated for a good cause.

Working along side me to raise money, there are to sponsors i would like to acknowlegde.

Evolve gym

I have been going to this gym in eastwood for 3 to 4 years now, a fine art of a gym at minimum, it is a traditinal iron pumping gym with great people around, it has high quality and a vast spread of equipment. the gym has raised hundreds of pounds for charity before, I aim to do this with the support of evolve. Through my time at the gym, I have spent various hours of the day realising that the gym is for anyone at any age with any kind of ability or backgr ound, there are great personal traininers, including Chris Jones himself (the owner).

evolve gym says

"Our mission at Evolve is simple: to bring you a new facility that sets itself apart from nearly all other gyms by having a very personal touch and catering for everyone, no matter what their background or experience.

Our intention is to try and preserve somewhat of an old school bodybuilding vibe but with a modern twist that would appeal to all ages and backgrounds.

We feel that we are very unique in the service and facilities offered as our members are not simply just another membership number, but are all known by name personally. We offer unique bespoke services along with personal training and individualised training and diet plans to suit all fitness goals."

Rochford hundred rugby club

Having been part of this club for around 14 years, I’ve had the privilege of playing and still currently coaching and refereeing for the club, and each role has given me more time to build skills and work with great people, whether it be on the pitch, on the side lines or in the club house. I am very greatful for the work that rochford are willing to put in, one effort they're making is hosting a quiz night on the 27th of february that I would be more than grateful for any attendees.
