Mary’s story
I'm running the Southampton Half Marathon on 24th April! This will be my first ever half marathon, and I'm raising funds for The Chris Halsey Tribute Fund which was set up in memory of my dad, to help children requiring surgical or medical help or equipment in Africa and India.
This is part of a wider charity, Hands Around The World (HATW), which is at heart a group of people, passionate about making a difference to disadvantaged children and families. They work with partners in Africa and India to realise their vision of supporting the vulnerable children and young people within their communities.
My dad was an avid runner, having run the London Marathon and many half marathons over the years. So I thought it about time to lace up my running shoes and have a go myself!

All funds raised will be passed to the charity irrespective of whether my target is reached, not reached or exceeded.
