Former AU President in Marathon Challenge

Former St Mary’s University College, Twickenham Athletics Union President Jason Arday will be running 30 marathons in 35 days in order to raise money for charities Shooting Star and Shelter.

Jason, 24, will be running the London Marathon route 30 times between Monday 19th July and Sunday 22nd August with a goal of completing each marathon in under six hours.

Jason is now a Sports lecturer at Richmond upon Thames College and has been a dedicated fundraiser for over seven years.

During his term as Athletics Union President at St Mary’s he organised several fundraisers in aid of Shelter and raised over £4,000. His ultimate goal is to raise £250,000 by the time he is 50.

Jason said; "At the age of 17 I had what I can only describe as a life changing experience. Over the Christmas period in December 2002 I was invited to volunteer at a local homeless shelter. What I saw was to change my perception of what I wanted to do for the rest of my life."

By running 30 marathons in 35 days Jason aims to raise between £7,500 and £10,000 for his two chosen charities. To make a donation, please visit Jason's JustGiving page.
