I am very proud to have been asked to join a team who will run the 2017 London Marathon in memory of Captain Dave Seath who tragically died taking part in the event last year. All funds raised will go to support the Captain Dave Seath Memorial Fund.

Like all of those who will be running in our team, I knew Dave not only as a motivated and professional Army officer; but also as a best friend.
His loss has been hard on everyone who knew him. But thanks to his amazing family, something incredibly positive – The Captain Dave Seath Memorial Fund - will be his lasting legacy.

Established by his brother Gary Seath in May 2016, The Captain David Seath Memorial Fund, in partnership with Help for Heroes, provides financial grants to wounded, injured and sick personnel and veterans as a means to rebuild lives following physical and psychological trauma. The funds are distributed through Help for Heroes' Quick Reaction Fund (QRF), which means the funds can reach beneficiaries within 72 hours.

I am in no way a natural distance runner and so training progress has been slow and painful. To that end, I think ten quid a mile is a fair ask…

Please give what you can to honour an incredible human being and to help a group of people who have served their nation and now need our help.

United we conquer
