He’s coming for you Eddie Izzard! Key Digital’s Managing Director, Andy Ratcliffe, is on a mission to run 12 marathons in 12 months of 2019 to raise money for the NSPCC.
“I enjoy the challenge of doing something new and pushing myself, and if I can raise some money for charity whilst doing it then that’s even better!”, said Ratcliffe.
“Running has become a big part of my life and of Key Digital after we introduced our Desk to 10K challenge last year. After the 10K I wanted to go further and further, and marathons are the biggest challenge of all…although maybe I’ll have a go at an ultra marathon at some point!
“I’ve already signed myself up for 5 marathons this year, including in Manchester and York, so there’s no backing out now. I might even try and persuade a few colleagues to go beyond 10K with me too.”
Andy will be raising money via his JustGiving page for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) and Key Digital will be cheering him on every step of the way.
