Mark Hayhurst

Having retired from the Army 10 years ago, where I had been at my fittest, who would have thought I’d be signing up to run a marathon aged 40!... Perhaps it is just my inner determination and competitiveness to remain fit as I enter my 5th decade!

I am supporting the AMAZING children’s charity – Lord’s Taverners. The Lord’s Taverners exists to positively impact the lives of young people facing the challenges of inequality. As a father of two young boys, I see how beneficial sport is to them, as it is to all children who participate in the multitude of sports they get involved in. I’d love to help Lord’s Taverners to help others; one of the charity’s main goals is to empower young people with disabilities and from disadvantaged communities to develop the knowledge, skills, capabilities and confidence required to overcome the challenges of inequality, raise their aspirations and reach their potential.

My employer Berkeley Homes has been a long term supporter of the Lord’s Taverners and is one of our chosen charities via the Berkeley Foundation.

Many thanks in advance and wish me luck!

Mark
