Come rain, snow and sunshine, Greg pushed his limits to complete his daily distance and his pure determination to finish the challenge has inspired our whole community. Greg also signed up for multiple run events during the year (including the Stafford 10K & Shawbury 10K Airfield Race) and was often joined by Paul’s wife Claire, which gave the friends an opportunity to stay close and do something amazing together.
“Running 5km every day was the most challenging thing that I’ve ever done but the amazing total raised made it all worth while. Along with all of the donations and kind words from friends and family, keeping in touch with the APF Fundraising Team directly throughout the year really did serve as a constant reminder of just how important fundraising is to APF. This won’t be the last challenge I take on for this wonderful cause in memory of my good friend Paul.”
