Shortly after Charlie passed away, Rudy told his mum that he wanted to do something in memory of his friend and to raise money for a charity close to his heart. At that time Charlie’s charity and beach school hadn’t even been created but Rudy was keen to start fundraising. He decided he wanted to run a marathon but being only 10 years old he couldn’t enter an official one. Not to be deterred he decided he would do his own and would aim to complete the 26 miles over a number of runs 🏃♂️
Throughout the summer he ran with friends, family and his pet dog Huxley 🐶 Yesterday he proudly finished the marathon accompanied by David, Charlie’s Dad completing the last lap of the 26 miles with the finish line being Charlie’s Beach School 🏁
Congratulations Rudy for completing the challenge whilst raising over £1000 in Charlie’s memory ~ what an incredible achievement 👏
