Baileys 65th Birthday Marathon 2025

Christopher Bailey is raising money for Keeping Abreast
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Birthday marathon along Marriotts Way, Norfolk · 11 September 2025

Keeping Abreast turns uncertainty into confidence for those facing breast cancer related reconstruction. Through real stories, compassionate guidance and tailored support, we help people feel empowered and supported to make the informed choices — at any age, at any stage.

Story

How to celebrate turning 65?

Well, I have set myself a challenge – to run another marathon – and for the past 11 weeks I have been training hard, and will continue for the final few weeks.

On Thursday 11 September I will again set off from Aylsham, north of Norwich, along the old railway lines known as Marriotts Way, and end up (hopefully about 5 ½ hours later) at The Forum in the city centre.

So instead of buying me a card (99p) and postage stamp (87p) this year perhaps you would add £1.86 into my fundraising account.

Or maybe £21.86 or £31.86. Or even £51.86.

All money donated will go to Keeping Abreast, the charity that supports women going through or considering reconstruction after breast cancer surgery. I am honoured to be a Patron and always delighted to support them.
