Story

hi here is my story of how I’m here today

I did beat the street with my son last year I walked over 400 mile with him

Then at the start of this year I wanted to get healthier so I started a weight loss diet (still on it 😊) when on it an app suggesting appeared it was C25k so I said to my partner I’m going to try it for a week…….9 weeks later I completed the course & I’m still running to this day I can run for an hour+ straight

So I wanted to try and complete an official race so I have went for the dundonald 10k race

Now this is where I came from as a lad and it’s where my big brother lived sadly he passed away in 2020 but was looked after so well by Ayrshire hospice near the end of his life so this is my way of saying thank you to them

I know it’s been a few years since he passed but I never thought i would be in this position in my life to be able to achieve this

Every mile I have run in training was for me, but every kilometre on race day is a “thank you” to the charity that was there for my brother.
