I wanted to do something physical to raise money for a local charity so I chose to run a marathon in a month. I will be running a mile most days in August with a few rest days dotted about.

I have chosen to raise money for MAYFACS which is a really small but really important charity in Mayfield and Five Ashes. They try to stop people feeling lonely or isolated by putting on lots of different activities to support people who live in the village. They do really amazing stuff like arranging for volunteers to drive people to hospital appointments, taking people out on trips, groups for mothers and toddlers, tea and chat sessions, film and knitting clubs, walk and talk groups for men and the repair cafe and community shed. They are also really good at helping people if they are in trouble or need a bit of support.

I am hoping to raise £750 because I think that will make a big difference to them.

Thank you for your support.

Will
