It’s true! Henry and Clarissa are running a half marathon for Racing Welfare!

Here’s why…

On May 15th 2018 Helen had a life changing accident on the gallops. Helen started working for Tim Forster in 1994 and moved to Henry when he took over. She progressed to become Travelling Head Person.

Since her accident Helen has made incredible progress and is an inspiration to us all. A lot of people and organisations have shown her incredible support but none more than Racing Welfare.

Racing Welfare’s support extended to her family, Henry and to all the team. Helen worked so hard to get back on her feet and Racing Welfare were with her every step of the way.

Henry hasn’t run anywhere since he left school other than 21 yards on a cricket pitch – his bat doing the other yard. Clarissa just hasn’t run – ever. We started running very tentatively in lockdown in order to get away from each other.

This challenge landed in our inboxes one sunny day many months ago. It seemed a long way off and perfectly do-able for 2 mid-50 year olds. Now it’s around the corner and looks impossible!

But with Helen as our inspiration and the fact that she is training to walk the last mile with us – even virtually if necessary – we will get through the next 8 weeks and on 22 August will run our first – and last – half marathon!

So please support us. Racing Welfare is an amazing charity. We can’t prevent life-changing accidents happening but we can help the outcome. Racing Welfare are there to pick up the pieces and so much more. Every penny raised will go towards helping someone who really needs it. The least we can do is run 13 miles!!
