ANDY GOES ON TRAINING WALK WITH JASON MANFORD

Our Co-Founder and very own Marathon man Andy Reid MBE was at Salford Quays this week, training and doing some filming for his TCS London Marathon challenge with the Army Benevolent Fund.

He was joined by his friend and fellow supporter, comedian Jason Manford who joined Andy on on a training walk and came to wish Andy and all the other runners well for the upcoming marathon.

Andy is one of only 3,000 injured or disabled people taking part in the race out of 60,000 runners. He is aiming to complete the whopping 26.2 mile course in under 12 hours, making him the first ever triple amputee to finish in the designated time.

All the money raised goes towards helping Veterans with their mental health, addiction, physical wellbeing and welfare issues.

This is a monumental challenge and we really appreciate you supporting Andy if you can via his fundraising page HERE.

BASTION THE BULLDOG IS RUNNING THE LONDON MARATHON!

Meet Bastion the Bulldog, our Mascot for the Standing Tall Foundation!

Bastion will be let loose for the day to take part in the London Marathon on the 26th April! He will be Andy’s sidekick, accompanying him on the gruelling 26.2 mile challenge to raise much needed funds for the Charity.

Bastion will be out and about across the UK in the lead up to the Marathon so keep your eyes peeled for his antics!

All money raised will go towards supporting people with their Mental Health, Addiction, Physical Wellbeing and Housing & Welfare issues.

Please donate HERE if you can, and help us to help others.

Thank you, your support is hugely appreciated.

Here are some pics of what Bastion has already been up to!
