Hi H,Gary is 51 and this is just the latest ina long list of epic fundraising undertakings that has raised hundreds of thousands for this great cause,he’s already done 100 marathons in 100 days a few years ago followed by running the route of the infamous Fred Witton bike race over all the passes in the Lake District. He really is an inspiration around these parts and a real nice lad,whose also inspired others,including myself to get out,get fitter and contribute in whatever way people can.
