BentrendGetinvolved was formed following Ben’s death, the idea being to provide funding each year to support individuals and/or organisations involved in sport in the Blackpool and Fylde area where Ben grew up, and also in the South West of London, where Ben lived for the last eight years of his life.

Last year, I ran my first ever half marathon in Coniston to raise money for BTGI which was a tough but amazing experience. I have obviously got the trail running bug as this year, rather than taking the next step of doing my first marathon, I have decided to jump straight into doing an ULTRA MARATHON around the hills of the Lake District!!! 

This will be one of, if not the hardest thing I have ever had to do physically and mentally but it is all for a fantastic foundation! I never knew Ben but have known his brother Jev for many years now and have seen the amazing work he and his family have put into the foundation!
