Marathon run for Calvert Trust

First ever marathon will help Calvert Trust

Lewis Squire from South Molton is training hard through the heat for the London Marathon which takes place on October 2nd.

He’s raising funds for the Calvert Trust on Exmoor, the charity that provides outdoor adventure breaks for children and adults with disabilities at Wistlandpound Reservoir.

“I chose the Calvert Trust due to the amazing work they do supporting local people who are less able to take part in outdoor activities,” said Lewis.

“They give them and their families the chance, and support, to enjoy a vast range of sports and pursuits, and help people build self confidence, acquire new hobbies and learn new skills.”

Lewis has been a recreational runner for about six years, but has never run a 26 mile marathon before. An engineer at Accord Healthcare in Barnstaple, the 28 year old has embarked on a 16 week training schedule.

He has already raised £1,100 of his £1,600 target and if you would like to support his challenge you can donate online here: justgiving.com/fundraising/Lewis-Squire
