London Marathon for The Seafarers' Charity

The Seafarers' Charity London Marathon 2025

I'm fundraising for...

..... Seafarers'. Here we go again. I am the one on the left. Back on track for the last fundraising time. My No 13 London Marathon since 2009 and my No 9 for Seafarers'. I will be just short of 82 years old on the day. Back me to sign off with a final £5K.

I respect the sea but more than that I respect the people whose lives are connected to the sea. The Merchant Navy, the fishing fleets, the Royal Navy, the Royal Marines and the Life Boats, past and present. I welcome the opportunity to run for them.

My background? Marine transportation. Support me or wish me well on the day - 27 April 2025

Thank you to my Sponsors

John, all power to those calf muscles. We trust you will have no reason to call on any emergency services, but will sail majestically down to the finishing line to the sound of an 82 gun salute! Fantastic effort! Good luck!
