Dan, who lives in Westfield and is a member of SWALLOW charity, is training hard for the Bath Half Marathon to raise money for them. He only began running in March, with one of his support workers, Shelley, and Dan has now joined the Westfield TT running group, organised by John Reynolds.

Dan says: “I started running in March, and it gave me passion and motivation to run more. The Bath Half was talked about in our group, and I decided that this was a challenge I wanted to do for SWALLOW.

“I run regularly every week with my support worker and hope to raise money for SWALLOW. I am supported really well and they are all lovely. I also want to run in memory of my Dad.”

The charity, which supports local teenagers and adults with learning disabilities, is based in Westfield. Money is needed to be able to continue SWALLOW’s work and they are hoping to recruit at least twenty people to run the Bath Half using one of the charity’s silver bond places. They would also welcome people who have their own places to pledge to run for SWALLOW.
