Quote from Mervyn
I was determined to complete a marathon for my friend Nick and the 100+ sponsors who put their faith in me. It was tough, but we had a great day, and the atmosphere was electric.
Having support from friends and family fuelled me forward. You're not just sponsoring a run; you're investing in life-saving research, supporting families like Nick's, and bringing hope to those who need it most.”
