Thoughts on Dasch activities, #marathon #running #space #digitalcomms & #socialmedia. Runner. #12in12 marathons completed in 2017. 47 marathons so far, 3:03 PB









I’ve seen a lot of the Toronto running community, but this guy wins.




Marcus started this year not being able to run more than a few metres in a row. On September 7th he is going to run a marathon. 4 months ago he decided to push himself to run 1 mile everyday for a month to raise awareness and funds for mental health. I met him for his last mile and he told me he wanted to run a marathon in September. I thought it was a probably a bit too ambitious, but I said if he put the training in then I’d do it with him. Fast forward to now and me and my team visited his home town in Yorkshire to see how he’s getting on, and he has certainly been putting the training in. Over 100 miles in the last week. Insane progress. Marcus has had so much to overcome in his 16 years in this world, from suffering with his own mental health to bullying to online abuse & much more that is not for me to go into here. Despite all of that he is an absolute beacon of positive energy and he tirelessly spreads it everywhere he goes. In a world that can feel so negative at times, people like Marcus are needed more than ever. If you can make it to join us for the last few kilometres of Marcus’s FIRST MARATHON then we will be at the Black Lion Gate, Hyde Park, London on Saturday 7th September from 2pm. Would be great to see as many of you there as possible to support this incredible young man💪🫡
