Royal Parks Half Martathon, October, 2021

Since the pandemic first began over a year ago, Martin and I (and like many people) have had various challenges we’ve faced during lockdowns 1, 2 and 3.

However, during the third lockdown, Martin and I decided to challenge one another on our fitness (running) ahead of our forthcoming winter training programme in our England (Learning Disability) cricket squad. In addition to challenging each other, on 10th October, Martin and I are taking part in the Royal London Parks half marathon and are attempting to raise £900 between us for the Lord’s Taverners.

The Lord's Taverners does an incredible amount of life-changing work with disabled and disadvantaged young people across Britain through sport and recreation, such helping to break down barriers, build crucial life skills and empower young people to fulfil their potential.

One such programme doing this is Super 1s, and I have seen how much work goes into helping many of the people excel and I would love to see Super 1s to continue growing from strength to strength.

And if you would like to take part in any future challenges to support the Lord’s Taverners, please email Heidi Coleman at heidi.coleman@lordstaverners.org for more details.
