Supporting Oxfordshire Charities

I was very privileged to have been able to support Helen & Douglas House by providing my long distance runner's workshop for some of their 2024 London Marathon fundraising runners last night. As I was shown around it became very clear how vital their dedicated support structure is.
If you are a registered Oxfordshire based charity and would like me to provide my runners workshop completely free of charge then email chris@back2best.com.

The Pupils of Kiboi Primary School (Kenya) Graduation Day!

Congratulations to the pupils of Kiboi Primary School, Kenya as they graduated to Secondary school.
I have become firm friends with Mr Wilfred Kimutai the school's headmaster over the years, and through our mutual friends and Kenyan athlete's Jonah Chesum and Shadrack Korir I have managed to support the school by donating sports equipment and kit.
As part of this support I provide the refreshments for their graduation and love to see these recent pics of the pupils have they celebrate their fantastic achievement of qualifying for Secondary school.
Great to be able to share their excitement and thanks to Wilfred, Jonah & Shadrack for their continued support.

Competing in the Dan Upton Memorial Discus Throws Competition

This morning, my son Adam and I had fun taking part in the Dan Upton memorial throws competition to raise money for the Wounded Highlanders charity.
Adam throws the discus for Radley AC and is nationally ranked and has been the Oxford County Champion for the past 4 years, and so although I am happy with my 19.20 metre best throw, Adam threw a bit further!

Best regards

Congratulations to all who ran their own London Marathon at the weekend!

Since 2013 I have managed the NSPCC Sports Massage Therapy team of over 30 therapists treating over 400 NSPCC fundraising runners at the NSPCC post marathon reception.

This is always a highlight of my year, and this charity is very close to me as I ran 3 marathons for ChildLine (London, Edinburgh & Abingdon) from 2001 to 2005.

Fingers crossed that next year we all return to some degree of normality which will see everyone enjoying athletic events together.
