Alasdair McInnes (1996-2001)
writes: “I last did the London Marathon
in 2011 and raised a substantial sum of
money for Children with Cancer. It was
one of the most rewarding experiences
of my life to cross that finish line but
from a personal view I couldn’t break
the 4-hour barrier.
Having turned 30 last year I wanted
to set myself another challenge
and could think of nothing better
than going back to do a sub 4 hour
marathon. So, I signed up to do the
London, Belfast and Edinburgh
marathons between April 13th and May
25th in aid of PHAB Kids. I remember
from my days at Merchant Taylors’ the
excellent work the charity undertakes
and as such wanted to take on this
challenge for their cause.
Why three, well if you are fit enough
to do one, why not?! Going the extra
mile is what it’s all about…
Working in central London for an
American Property Fund, I have to
squeeze in training wherever I can, be it
running fromWest Hampstead to Bond
Street in the mornings or around Hyde
Park on a lunch break, but knowing that
the eort is aiding a great cause like
PHAB is a fantastic motivator.
Thank you in advance for any
donation you can spare, I know every
penny will be gratefully received.”
