Jamie steps up for charity
A funeral director from Helston, in Cornwall, has gone the extra step – 26 miles of them – for The Macmillan Cove Appeal after completing the London Marathon.
Jamie Richards, of Pendle Funeral Services, raised more than £8,000 for the charity.
He had initially set out to raise £2,000 but the novice runner managed to quadruple that thanks to the support of his community.
Jamie said: “I’m honoured to have run for the Macmillan Cove Appeal, a charity that means so much to me – and my family – and will have so many benefits for the people of Cornwall.
“A massive thank you to all of those people from the local community and businesses for their overwhelming support throughout. It was a magnificent yet really tough experience from start to finish.”
