One of our players Karl Bates is undergoing a massive 3 challenges this year.
Having completed the first he has two more to go.
In his own words below.
This year I’ve signed up for NOT ONE… NOT TWO… but THREE big running events for charity! 😂
My legs clearly haven’t suffered enough & my decision-making is definitely questionable… but here’s the plan:
🏃 Leeds Marathon – 10 May ✅
🏃 The Wall Ultra – 13 June (Carlisle to Newcastle)
🏃 Yorkshire Marathon – 18 October
I’m running all three for Leeds Hospitals Charity, helping fund better care, equipment & support for patients and staff across Leeds Teaching Hospitals.
If you’d like to support me, I’d be so grateful! Every bit helps ❤️
