On a gloriously sunny but cold day, PSGS’ Simon Lewis completed a charity fundraiser half marathon on Sunday 3 April smashing through the fundraising target and raised £775 for the charity Different Strokes – to support Kate Barette and others like her who live and work with the effects of stroke at an early age.

Simon wanted to undertake a new challenge this year for a good cause. He trained hard, posting regular progress updates on his Just Giving page and managed to come under 2 hours without stopping once!

Here’s what Simon had to say after the half marathon: “Thanks so much for your support and encouragement! I’m knackered but happy and had an enjoyable Reading half marathon (although my legs may disagree).”

Well done to Simon Riviere who also completed the half marathon on Sunday.
