A Latchford runner has clocked up 50 miles after joining a charity ‘run the month’ challenge.
Nathan Taylor-Thompson signed up for the April run, which asked participants to complete 50 miles during the course of the month and raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK.
The 29-year-old and friend Dan Peers, from Westbrook, took on three runs a week in memory of their relative Dennis Green, who passed away from prostate cancer earlier this year.
The duo were joined for the final leg of the month-long challenge by Nathan’s brother Kane as they ran from Warrington Wolves Halliwell Jones Stadium to Leigh Sports Village – the home of Dennis’ rugby team.
The threesome collected £529 and Nathan is planning to continue his running, aiming to sign up for a half marathon later in the year and then setting his sights on a full marathon next year.
