Story

Thanks for for you time to read this

Justin was one of my suppliers / friend for over 10 years, describing him as one of the really nice guys of business

In the Autumn of last year he went out on an early morning run as training to complete his first full marathon in 2024. During the run he was hot by a vehicle that eventually took his life. At 55 with so much still to give

After attending his funeral and listening to his wife (Toni) and daughter (Tia) speak I asked if I could complete the challenge he started in his honour

Once they said yes I pulled on the trainers and have started to put in the miles

Its been 23 years since I last completed the London Marathon so Time will not be a target. Honouring Justin and raising as much as I can for his charity will be amazing

Thanks for your support

Roger
