Our very own Martin Toms will be running his first ever marathon at the age of 56 on the 1st October in Cologne, Germany.
Martin will be running for a local charity – The Daylight Centre in Wellingborough who provide an accessible day centre for vulnerable adults who need support to tackle their problems.
The charity provides advice to people who simply need someone to help them and this could be housing related amongst numerous other areas including helping people with learning difficulties or dyslexia to complete forms. They also provide somewhere for people to get together in the day including a hot meal and friendship. Furthermore, they have a food bank for those who really need help in this area.
This year the charity hopes to raise money to buy sleeping bags for people who have to sleep rough in the winter months.
It’s so easy to take what we have for granted – a good home, family support, good health, enough money to buy food and more. But if we take step back and look, there are so many people in society who struggle with even the basics! It makes you realise just how important this kind of local centre is and how lucky we are!
Please support me in my run (I might need it) and show your support by generously giving a donation – https://localgiving.org/fundraising/martin-marathon/
