Run Jason, run!

This year, we have four fantastic runners entering the London Marathon to raise money for two fantastic causes.

With less than three weeks to go, we wanted to share a little bit more about each of our runners and what it means to them to be running in a few weeks time.

Why did you want to run the London Marathon?

I had a life changing experience over a decade ago. I was in a coma for months while my wife nursed our 4-month-old daughter.  Following extensive rehabilitation over the next 2 years, during which I relearned to walk and talk, I made a full recovery.  Since then, I have vowed to live every day as if it were my last and help others not as lucky as myself and running the London marathon is one way of doing that!

Why did you choose to run for Child Rescue Nepal?

I decided to run the London Marathon in October for an outstanding charity that Andrews Charitable Trust work with called Child Rescue Nepal. The Charity free children from slavery – they rescue children, keep them safe and reunite them with their families rescuing over 900- children and they won’t stop until every child is free.

£26 will provide a child with lunches for a year, £50 will train a teacher in child – friendly methods. 

How has your training been going?

I have been training very hard for the London Marathon and its only 19 days away, I have gone from running a gentle 5k once a week to running a minimum 5k every day and a full marathon over two days at the weekends.

Most of my long run training has been in Brighton at the weekends when I visit family so lucky for me it’s been run on the beach which has been lovely!

 I would really appreciate your help and support, thanks to all who have given so generously so far! Please check out my page and give as much as you can it all really does help.
