My Awesomely Wonderful Brother-in-Law Ben Tavendale is Running the Brighton Marathon on Sunday in Aid of Breast Cancer Please Sponsor Him If You Can

Ben's previous run for Breast Cancer Care






































Go Ben!

Ben's hoping to complete the 42KM race in 5 hours. All money goes to Breast Cancer Care a charity providing specialist support and expert information for anyone affected by breast cancer. Visit www.breastcancercare.org.uk or call their free helpline on 0808 800 6000.


You can safely sponsor Ben at his Just Giving page all amounts, no matter how small, are gratefully appreciated.

Good luck, Ben!




Yay!! He finished in 4.07.58

Okay so he can't move today and is paining all over but what a great achievement!

    3. Thank you so much. This is kind of you...
      Such a great timing ! (Mashallah) ... He was aiming less than 5 hours and finished in a bit more than 4... Yea it will take like 3 days for him to start walking normally again.. Don't worry it's all part of the experience :) .. Check this video out "The day after the marathon" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-hCuYjvw2I
