If you are interested in joining Gareth whilst he pounds the streets of Leicestershire over the next 4 months, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Old Ratcliffian,Mark Snutch (96) is running to raise money for the MNDA (Motor Neurone Disease Association) on behalf of his father-in-law who is currently suffering from this fatal and horrible disease.
There is currently no cure which is why he has decided to raise as much money as he can to aid further research and assist carers.
"I have just set up a fundraising website and I would be extremely grateful if you would click on the link below and sponsor me. My aim is to run sub 4 hours so I've got a lot of training to do between now and April!
Thank you in advance for your kind donations. Mark"
