The Pubby Half

Hello everyone,

As many of you know, I ruptured my ACL in November 2023. After some half-hearted rehab and plenty of hours spent on the sofa because "I had to ice my knee," I've pretty much been given the all clear by my physio. So, I thought, why not try and do something for a good cause?

Soooooo, I've decided to run a half marathon on my birthday—31st October—to raise money for Brave Mind, a charity focused on improving mental health in the rugby world.

While most people are casually squeezing ultra marathons into their lunch breaks, I’ve been on a grand total of six runs in the past 12 months. But to add a bit of spice to the challenge, I’ll be stopping at five of West Oxfordshire’s finest establishments for a pint of the crispiest Guinness. Stops include Aston, Buckland, Buckland in the Marsh, Bampton, and Alvescot.

Feel free to donate, support Brave Mind, or simply watch as I attempt this birthday feat with questionable preparation. Every contribution counts!

Thanks everyone
