HUGH YATES RUNS THE PARIS MARATHON/ LOOKING FOR SPONSORS!

April 1, 2010 7:22 pm | Posted by John Armstrong

We’re very proud of our Guest relations officer Hugh Yates, who has been training very keenly for the last few months to run the Paris Marathon on the 11th April.

Here is a note from him

On the 11th April I will be pounding the Parisian pavements (je trottinerai les trottoirs parisiens) for 42km (it sounds way further in metric). I shall be running in aid of the Ellen MacArthur trust, a charity set up to encourage young people who have suffered from cancer to get their lives going again by introducing them to sailing.

I am doing this in memory of my brother Will, who was a very keen sailor (and general all-round Francophile), and would have really approved of the charity and its work.

I haven’t set a target for donations (or for my finishing time) so please just give what you can.

Thanks very much,

Hugh
