He was running in memory of his friend Hazel Bradley, who recently passed away from lymphoma.

“Hazel was my great friend and running partner for many years,” said George.

“Hazel ran for the Anster Haddies and represented Scotland on many occasions at cross country events. She was a truly inspirational runner, and a wonderful person who is missed by many.”

“We are so grateful for George’s support,” said Adele Matthews, challenge events fundraiser at Lymphoma Action. “To have run twenty marathons is truly amazing.
