Run2Events - Oli Handscomb-Dean

I'm fundraising for...

5 people, 4 days, 4 half marathons each. It seemed like a good idea at the time....! Start in London, finish in Paris. How hard can it be...?

Wish us luck but more importantly please donate. Your donation will go towards two really important causes, Parkinson's UK and SSAFA. I know times are tough but anything you can spare, however big, however small, not only keeps these incredible charities doing what they do but also helps me and the rest of the team to keep going.

We really appreciate your support. Thank-you!

Gift Aid Yes, I am a UK taxpayer. Please treat all donations as Gift Aid donations. I confirm that I am a UK Income or Capital Gains taxpayer. I have read this statement and want the charity to reclaim tax on the donation, given on the date shown. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax / or Capital Gains tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of my donations it is my responsibility to pay any difference. I understand the charity will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I have given. Full details can be found on the HMRC website - https://www.gov.uk/donating-to-charity/gift-aid

2 weeks to go!

Thursday 16th Apr

The training is (mostly) done, the final logistics are done and we have our running routes for each day - they look OK, if not slightly hillier than we expected or hoped for!

A massive thank you to everyone that has donated so far, you're all incredible and the pressure is on now, you've all delivered so I guess we have to now!

If you haven't sponsored yet, please do if you can. I know we have hit our minimum target but every penny we can raise above this drives us on to succeed but, more importantly, will go towards supporting the two incredible charities we are running for.

I can't believe that this time in 2 weeks we will be off and running down to the South Coast to catch our overnight ferry. A mixture of excitement and nerves are starting to build now!

November/December 2024

Wednesday 11th Dec

November has been a busy month! Not only have I been taking part in a Cross-Country Running League, I also completed the Ahotu Silverstone Half Marathon in abysmal conditions during Storm Bert - 40mph winds and heavy rain meant I was soaked through by Mile 3! On a plus side, I did set a new Half Marathon PB of 1:35.11 - until it was revealed the course had in fact been measured short so it didn't count!
December has seen training start for The Original Marathon in March 2025, plenty of dark, wet and cold after-work runs ahead - more hi-viz running clothes for Xmas please Santa..!

Finally, on the subject of Santa - Expect Toulouse organised and ran the work Christmas Santa Run which saw 17 Santas, elves (and one Witch!) run 2km with prizes going to the fastest runners and best dressed, courtesy of Aramark and Northwood Team SSAFA. Most importantly, a good amount of fun and festive spirit was shared and a nice boost to fundraising.

The start

Tuesday 22nd Oct

I've wanted to do Run2Paris for several years now but finally taken the plunge.

I've ran 10kms, I've ran several Half Marathons and I've ran a Marathon - this should be easy right?

4 half marathons in 4 days. Sounds easy but never once have I finished a half and thought "I'd love to do that again tomorrow, let alone then again the day after and then one more time!"

But I've committed now, training has already started and I have 4 other people that I've managed to convince (and dupe) into doing it with me!

I love to challenge myself and that is exactly what this is going to be, follow me on the journey to the start line at Wimbledon in Spetember 25!
