Love Running are proud to be promoting Team Run 12 in the work their mammoth 2014 marathon challenge.
In 2014, Rebecca Beard, 22 from Kent, is planning to complete twelve marathons in a bid to raise £25,000 for charity. Throughout the year, Becky will have the support from six ‘guest runners’ who will join her for individual marathons.
Having fallen in love with fundraising after running the London Marathon in April 2013, Becky wanted to take on a new challenge as soon as she crossed the finish line. “I was offered a last minute charity place in this year’s London Marathon, in just 88 days we raised over £10,000 for Breast Cancer Care and I just wanted to keep giving something back to the charities closest to my heart,”
Becky says, “I can’t swim so a triathlon was out of the question and I knew that one marathon would never raise as much money so I wanted to take on something a little bit bigger.” Becky knew that the challenge was going to be difficult so decided to enlist the support of a team. “This is going to be a huge challenge for me, physically and mentally, so I wanted to build a support network to share this incredible experience with.”
Becky created the concept of ‘Team Run 12’ and launched an appeal for ‘guest runners’ who applied to join the team via her website. “At first, I thought I’d be begging family and friends to join me but I have been overwhelmed by volume of applications we’ve received.”
The six guest runners have now been selected and as a team they are preparing for a year of hard work. “We’re all so excited to be part of this,” guest runner Mark Taylor, 45 from Northampton, says, “I’m ready to take on the months of training but also prepared to do some pretty humiliating tasks in the name of fundraising!”
