The Royal Parks half marathon took place last week and our very own Mark completed this stunning central London race in a speedy time of 1 hour 49 minutes!

The scenic half takes in some of the capital’s world-famous landmarks, on closed roads and within four of London’s eight Royal Parks – Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens – so plenty to distract when the legs start to get a little achy along the way!

Mark ran in aid of Tommy’s – The Child Birth Charity. They support the millions of couples and families that experience the heart break of child loss each year in the UK, whether that be through miscarriage, still birth or infant death.

They also fund research to hopefully reduce the amount of people that must endure the pain of losing someone they never got to meet, someone they got to cherish for just a few moments, or for not long enough.

There are a lot of charities you can support, but if you could donate even the smallest amount to their work then please do; it could mean the world of difference to a couple when they need it the most.
