I’m Will, 47, married with two boys. As parents of sons in the same team I got to know Steve Clayton, Whitstable Town Football Club Chairman and was amazed to learn the club is a charity and relies almost entirely on volunteers. I wanted to help out but am unable to contribute my time regularly. I learned that sponsorship and funding are persistent challenges, and so while standing on the sidelines, the idea was formed for me to run the marathon.

I strongly believe in sport's positive effect on mental health and wellbeing. Whitstable Town Football Club offers so many people, young and old, the opportunity to experience those benefits. The club and I are acutely aware of the difficulties many people have with their mental health. Most of us will, unfortunately, have colleagues, friends, and family who have experienced our own struggles. We, therefore, also wanted to support another fantastic charity that supports those affected and have chosen to support Mind.UK.Org. I feel privileged to take on this challenge and intend to drag my middle-aged, creaking body around London as quickly as I can!

If you can donate in support, we would be genuinely grateful.
