Harry's Couch to Marathon

Harry's couch to marathon

Harry Scoble, a 20-year-old student from Sheffield Hallam University, lost his grandfather in 2020 to cancer and wanted to do something to mark his passing - something that would have made his granddad proud and his grandma smile.  He chose a "couch to marathon", running the 26 miles in his home town of Loughborough on the 27 November.

Harry had chosen the worst possible day- the tail end of storm Arwen - but his friends and family gathered to cheer him on and he made it in 5 hours 20 minutes.

Harry had the tee shirt made to make his mum and grandma smile but instead it reduced everyone to tears!

Thank you Harry for donating the money you raised - more than £2,000 - to the CCHF to support those who supported your granddad through his treatment.
