On Christmas Day 2021, Alison and Paul Mitchell lost Michael, their 39 year old brother-in-law, to suicide, leaving behind a grieving family and loved ones, including his 7 year old daughter.

In memory of Michael, on May 7th 2023, Alison and Paul, along with the support of some friends, are going to run all 28.5 miles of The Hardmoors Wainstones Trail Marathon with an elevation of 5600 feet! Neither Alison or Paul has tackled such an extreme challenge before.

Paul has joined Ripon Runners, whilst Alison is running with friends, some of whom will also be running the marathon in May with them. On Sunday, February 5th they both ran the Saltburn half-marathon, which is also part of the Hardmoors series, so training is coming along well!
