LONDON MARATHON SUNDAY 2ND OCTOBER 2022
George Oldfield from Devon is running the London Marathon on behalf of the Zambia Society Trust on Sunday 2nd October.
"My official first name is Keith, but most people call me by my nickname - George. I have recently retired from the NHS, where I worked as an information analyst within Surgery. My wife is a nurse and still working. Prior to the NHS I worked for Devon County Council in the Education Department. I have not been training specifically for a marathon so it will be a challenge although I do run three times a week. I have only run one marathon before and it was many years ago so I suspect I'll find this run tougher, but it will make crossing the finish line all the sweeter! There was a request made for a person to run for you to the Honiton running club, which I am a member of, and I put my name forward. Running is a privilege and to combine it with raising money for a worthy cause makes it very special so it is I that should thank you for the opportunity given to me."
