Matt Baxter took on the challenge of running 13 half marathons throughout 2023 to thank St Giles for the care given to his uncle, James, at the end of his life. Throughout the challenge Matt took on two of the runs from above including the London Virtual Marathon and the Great Birmingham Run. The challenge so far has helped Matt raise an incredible £1,214 for St Giles. Watch Matt’s story to find out more.
