4 Marathons, 4 Weeks Charity Challenge
Lloyd Roderick and Lewis Taylor are regulars at No.9 are into the swing of training for what promises to be their ultimate challenge in fitness. They intend on completing four marathons, in just four weeks. The marathons are staged at four separate locations throughout the UK and involve a lot of careful planning, meticulous training and above all a huge commitment to fundraising for a great cause.
MIND - The mental health charity, are the charity of choice as it is supporting people throughout the country dealing with any kind of mental illness, from post natal depression to post traumatic stress disorder. Given recent tragic events in Bridgend, events in Lewis and Lloyds own lives and day to day tragedies we hear of throughout the country due to mental illness, Lloyd and Lewis feel this is a big opportunity to spread awareness of not only the charity but the help that is available to people who maybe feel like they are not cared about and do not qualify for help 'just because its stress'. This simply isn't true.
The boys need to raise £3200 to meet their fundraising targets, as always, they are aiming well above this. Fundraising has only just started and needs as many people to help out as possible. Also, if any business' want to get their name out there the boys are offering the opportunity to advertise their company on their shorts during each of the marathons. They will be wearing plain white shorts and can hold multiple companies logo's. They will also offer the opportunity to sponsor parts of the t-shirt and also wrist bands and trainers. The logo's wont only be seen as they run passed the masses of crowds, they will also be seen on any promotional press interviews the boys do with local newspapers, television and indeed training events throughout the UK and South Wales area.
The marathons are as follows:
Sunday 14th April 2013 - BRIGHTON MARATHON
Sunday 21st April 2013 - VIRGIN LONDON MARATHON
Sunday 28th April 2013 - MANCHESTER MARATHON
Monday 6th May 2013 - BELFAST MARATHON
ANYTHING you can do to help the boys fundraise would be greatly appreciated!
