Altra Yorkshire Marathon 2025 · 19 October 2025 ·

Since 1994 we have provided personalised, safe support to adults with a care need so that they can live fulfilling lives in the communities they love. This includes the pioneering Shared Lives scheme, where carers open their homes to provide a family environment for people to share in and enjoy.

Story

So, in 2019 I ran a marathon and it was awful. So I've decided to run a marathon again and if it's going to be awful I thought I should at least raise a couple of quid for a good cause!

I've decided to raise money for The Avalon Group, to help people with disabilities and/or dementia in communities across Yorkshire and the North East.

Rest assured that any donation you make will help keep me on track for putting myself through a really tough challenge, so I'm pretty sure it's worth a few pounds to see me in discomfort! 🤣 (Also, Sarah, who is definitely a good egg, works for this charity and has assured me the money raised will not go towards prosecco)
