Andrew has completed the Hong Kong Standard Chartered Half Marathon!

“I ran in memory of one of my oldest friends, Paul Greaves that passed away last March (2024). Around Christmas last year he got a bad back and by the time he was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer that had spread, it was too late to save him.  He left a wife and 3 daughters and they nominated the charity after the support they received during this difficult time.  Committing to this really focused my training and after never running more than 1km before 2023, I was up at 5.30am training 5 times a week.

I completed the Hong Kong Standard Chartered Half marathon in under two and a half hours which was my target and I’m grateful to everyone that supported and sponsored me along the way.” – Andrew Woodfine
