Gavin's campaign for Lucy Ellis Foundation

I've not run a half marathon for 6 years and for one reason or another I've not been keen on doing another one. I haven't completely stopped running, I've dipped in and out of it as I always have done, but with most things in life, the older you get, the more difficult it is to get back into and sustain...and for me, running is no different. I'm running Cardiff Half Marathon for the Lucy Ellis Foundation, a charity close to the hearts of me, Chels and her family, I will be training hard all summer as just getting around isn't enough for me as I am in constant battle with my younger self.

There is a short bit about the charity below, but please visit the website for more on the charity, their aims and of course, Lucy herself -  https://lucyellis.love/

In May 2018, 16 year old Lucy passed away after a sudden and short battle with sepsis, a rare but serious condition often triggered by infection. Her family established the Lucy Ellis Foundation in her memory to campaign for better awareness of sepsis, raise money for specialist equipment and training for hospitals in Wales, and offer athletics scholarships to help underprivileged children and teens pursue their dreams.
