Raising money for The Thomas Ball Children's Cancer Fund, Southampton Hospitals Charity and The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity

Story

My name is Alan Hardwick

I am planning to start running from a Couch Potato level to a Marathon Runner In 8 months and Ultra Marathon runner in 12 months.

I have no running experience and I would like to raise £2,100 for four Charities when I reach my goals over the next 8 months.

Goal 1 - Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance - Southampton Common 5K run on Saturday 23rd September 2023 - Target £100 https://hiowaa.enthuse.com/pf/alan-hardwick

Goal 3 - The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity - Langstone Harbour & Portsmouth Coastal Half Marathons - 17th & 18th February 2024 - Target £750 https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/alan-hardwick1

Goal 4 - Southampton Neonatal Intensive Care Unit - Southampton Full Marathon - Sunday 7th April 2024 and Ultra Marathon (54K) Sunday 18th August 2024 -Target £1000 https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/alan-hardwick

I appreciate it is very difficult at the moment, but any contributions will go to these great charities and it will also help push me to meet my Goals.
