Robert Kenward, of YOU search & select, will don his trainers for the first time in two years for the Royal Parks Half Marathon! In the latest in our series featuring our runners and walkers in The Royal Parks Half Marathon, Robert explains what persuaded him to support Meeting Needs:
“I’ve wanted to do this for some time but life, work, the pandemic, and an injury have stopped me before. Not this time. I’ve known Kate Conway who is on the board of Meeting Needs for ages and the work Meeting Needs does is known throughout the industry and I’m always in awe of it all.
“Running has always been more than exercise for me, it’s been my release, my happy place, and a chance for me to decompress and turn my brain off. I last ran a half 10 years ago and it’s been at least 2 years since my running shoes came on so I’m nervous but also super pumped for the challenge ahead.
“I’m hugely excited to be part of the team and the support and advice has been really positive which has been invaluable as we tackle this together. Let’s do this…”
The Royal Parks Half Marathon is a great event industry gathering in London´s beautiful parks, starting and finishing in Hyde Park. If you would like to take part in The Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday, October 13, 2024 and raise funds for Meeting Needs, please contact kconway@meetingneeds.org.uk
