Grant Edmondson, managing director of MEPC Hillington Park, recently completed his first marathon in Copenhagen to raise funds for Endometriosis UK, a charity which helps those affected by endometriosis, the chronic and debilitating disease affecting two million women in the UK.
Grant set himself the challenge at the start of the year to improve his own fitness and realise a long-held ambition of running a marathon. He chose to raise sponsorship in aid of Endometriosis UK as his wife suffers from the disease. As well as raising general awareness of the disease through his contacts in the business community, Grant has raised over £5,400 for the charity.
His finishing time was 3.11.42.
“I’m really pleased with how both the race and the fundraising went,” said Grant. “It just shows that if you put in the hard work early on, it makes the challenge more enjoyable and rewarding. People were incredibly generous in their support. I’m now looking forward my next marathon!”
