The Suffolk Accident Rescue Service (or SARS as it is known locally) is a fantastic immediate medical care focussed charity that recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. Over these years, countless lives have been saved by its clinical volunteers who selflessly donate their precious spare time in order to provide this life-saving service to the people of Suffolk and the neighbouring counties.

The clinal responders are in turn supported by an equally hard-working group of charity volunteers who give their time to raise funds to ensure that SARS remains a viable presence in Suffolk for the years to come.

In order to mark this half-century of dedication and outstanding voluntary service to the community, I decided to undertake my very own challenge, which was to complete a half-marathon before my 50th Birthday!

Those of you who know me personally will appreciate the size of this undertaking - prior to this challenge, I had never managed to complete the ‘couch to 5k!’

Anything you are able to spare by way of a donation to this truly wonderful charity will spur me on and help me push through those difficult times where my legs are telling me that they simply cannot go on 🏃‍♂️
