When your business life is all about golf, you wouldn´t expect running to be your therapy – but that’s how it is for Freddie Holmes of Swingers London. He is one of the 20 event professionals who have registered already to raise cash for Meeting Needs by covering 13 miles in the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October.
Freddie explains: “As someone who tends to have a lot of nervous energy, overthinks everything, and gets super excited about things, running 25k through some of the most iconic spots in London was definitely on the cards. Running has been my way of de-stressing, clearing my mind, and just feeling better in my own skin. The chance to combine all of that with raising money for smaller charities that can really make a difference fills me with so much pride. Every kilometre I run and every pound I raise feels like a huge win.”
