Barnaby Parker, CEO, Venquis
I ran 27 miles (and up and down 1,800 metres) because I knew that every step was raising money that would go directly towards creating better lives for families and children. Shivia is an organisation very close to my heart and I drew inspiration from that. It didn’t make a difference that the beneficiaries of my run live 6,000 miles away (though I’d rather not run that far!). Above all, running for Shivia probably got me round the marathon course faster!
