In his own words...... "I didn't realise how tough this running challenge would be;"
However, Grant Huddleston has worked hard and persevered to challenge himself for a great cause. This year Grant has run several events to raise money and awareness for The Lily Mae Foundation. Grant set himself a target at the beginning of 2017 to complete a Running Challenge totalling 1000 miles. He has done an amazing job to date racing in a number of local and national runs raising awareness of The Lily Mae Foundation by wearing one of our running vests.The Lily Mae Foundation would like to say a huge thank you to Grant for his fundraising efforts and wish him all the very best for his remaining runs in 2017.If you would like to sponsor Grant then please visit his JustGiving Page.
