Welcome to my blog!
I am one of the fundraisers here at MacIntyre and I am here to keep you up to date with what fundraising activity is going on in and around MacIntyre.
I’ll kick off by telling you that we’ve got 6 people running the London marathon for us on April 25th. They have dedicated their time and talent to running the marathon in our name donating all their sponsorship money to MacIntyre. Over the next couple of weeks I’ll introduce them all to you, but I’ll start with Derek.
Derek Nye is someone who has a close friend that receives support from MacIntyre, so with that personal connection Derek was keen to run on our behalf knowing the money raised will be going to support his friend.
Derek hated running at school, but as he approached his 40th birthday he challenged himself to run a marathon! Obviously he doesn’t do things by half!

He has now run the London marathon a couple of times, but not for a few years, so is keen to prove to himself that he’s still got it. He started his training last summer, and when he was made redundant he happily looked on the bright side thinking at least he’d be able to concentrate on his marathon training. However he was fortunate to find and start a new job just one week later, so his training plans quickly went out of the window.
He fits his training in between cycling, golf, rugby, walking his dogs and is currently moving house. His best marathon running time is 5 hours, so he is challenging himself this time to do it under 4½ hours. No mean feat!
He has enjoyed a break from his training as the nights grew dark and the weather took a turn for the worse through the winter, but is now getting back into his stride.
