Aylesbury man taking on London Marathon this weekend, as part of 500 mile fundraiser for Rennie Grove Hospice

Aylesbury based Ali Ratcliffe has been taking on 10 running challenges totalling over 500 miles, in memory of his dad Keith Ratcliffe, with the London marathon coming up this weekend!

Ali told us just how important the Rennie Grove is to him and his family. 

"Dad wanted to remain at home with his family and not go to hospital, this is where Rennie grove came in and made it all possible. This meant the world to him and to us as a family, and in his final few weeks Rennie Grove really helped our family, and my dad, through a difficult time."

The 10 Challenges have taken Ali to places such as Edinburgh and even Jersey, and they include the famous London Marathon this weekend!

And to make things even harder for him, Ali will be running the London Marathon in the Rennie Grove Mascot costume! (Pictured below)
