Windsor Half-Marathon – September 2009

1/9/2009

 
Jonny Allcock, a good friend of Jeremy’s from their year out in Indonesia (see photo gallery) raised an incredible £4,150 to help Jeremy’s charity help more people get an opportunity to achieve their dreams. Jonny, accompanied by his sister Claire, raised the funds running the Windsor Half-Marathon on 27 September.

Jonny explained his preparation on race-day: 
“In true Jez [Jeremy] style we managed to lose all paperwork, running number and chip just 30 minutes before the start . . .

 . . . and I found myself at the back of a long queue for the admin tent panicking and sweating profusely rather than taking on water and stretching! But Rach [Jonny’s wife] barged through to the front of the queue and found that some kind angel had found my envelope on the ground and handed it in some minutes earlier . . . So all was well and in true Jez tradition I made it to the back of the starting line as the race began!” Despite the heat and the hills and describing himself as an “asthmatic Guinness-drinking man” Jonny completed the full 13.1 miles in a respectable 2 hours 29 minutes.
​
​
Jonny now has his eye on the Reading and Bath Half Marathons in March 2010, and aims to shave five minutes off every year for the next six years so he can complete a two-hour Half Marathon at the age of 40.
