Friday night Aycliffe Radio presenter, Nathan Abbott, conquered the London Marathon on Sunday 28th April to raise funds for ManHealth CIC. Nathan completed the run in the time of 4 hours 55 minutes, 53 seconds despite suffering with cramp from 15 miles in, and said that, despite the cramp it was an experience I will never forget, made all the better by raising £630 for ManHealth”.
The Aycliffe Radio presenter was keen to raise awareness for ManHealth, who will be launching a new group in Newton Aycliffe Youth & Community Centre on Monday 13th April from 6-8pm. Nathan would like to thank each and every one of his sponsor’s who’s logos were emblazoned on his shirt.
