Hi and thanks for stopping by. I’m Laurence, just an average guy who’s falling in love with running. I start training in October 2012 for my first marathon in 2013. Having not run in over 20 years since I left school I found it hard at the beginning to get back in to running.   As the weeks and month went by and the mileage increased I started feeling more and more comfortable on my feet. After completing my first marathon I was inspired to keep running. Have since ran 35 marathons.  I ran my first marathon (London) for THT  and in  March this year  (2015 ) I ran the Enigma Week at the Knees, 7 marathon’s in 7 days. I have set myself a personal challenge of running 100 marathons by the time I’m 40 (37 at present) and to raise as much money for THT as I can along the way 

For those who don’t know me  THT is a charity very close to my heart as back in 2003.  I lost my partner So over the years I have volunteered and fundraised for them 

 ON BEHALF OF THT AND MYSELF, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A MASSIVE THANK YOU Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.

A national organization

Much has changed since the early days of HIV and as the shape of the epidemic has changed, so has the Trust. Our existing services have been developed and we have introduced new services to meet changing needs.

We have merged with local community-based HIV charities to create a national organization with the stability and infrastructure capable of ensuring a long-term response to the HIV and sexual health needs.
