September 29th 2019

Why run a Marathon? It’s exhausting, painful and the training is extremely time-consuming, yet on 29th September, a team of sixteen of us are Running the Berlin Marathon for Cameron. Most of us are first-time Marathon runners.

Celebrating our last long run before heading off to Berlin!

So wonderful to see runners and supporters visit Cameron’s Cottage in New Forest

We are now only a matter of weeks away and the distances of our runs are getting longer and longer. To run 26.2 miles (42km) is a tremendous challenge and to do it for charity, makes it doubly rewarding.

What a team!

  • We are running for a challenge, we are running for Cameron
  • We are old friends and family, we are new friends
  • We are slow runners, we are fast runners
  • We are young, we are not so young....

We are funding the renovation of Cameron’s Cottage in the heart of the RSPB reserve in the New Forest and are now looking for additional funds to build a Field Study Centre right next to this amazing cottage.

We are running to remember Cameron and to support a very special cause and this enables us to endure what it takes. Training for a marathon is relentless. It takes time, commitment, strength, pain, injuries, sacrifices and lots and lots of perseverance. We run between 25-60 miles a week which takes up a lot of time, juggling work and family.

I feel passionate about wildlife and nature. By creating opportunities for young people to be immersed in the natural world, our work will capture the interest of the next generation inspired by a very special young naturalist.
