Jack at London Marathon 2023

Jack’s fantastic achievement of completing the London Marathon and raising an amazing £4,326 for the charity Rainbows is something that JC Metalworks is extremely proud of. This great accomplishment took months of hard work, training, and dedication. Jack’s will to finish the marathon and raise money for a good cause is an inspiration to all.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported him in his endeavour, whether by donating to his JustGiving page or simply cheering him on. Your generosity and encouragement were instrumental in his success, and he could not have done it without you.

Moreover, Jack exceeded his original fundraising goal, which is a testament to the generosity and kindness of our community. The funds raised will go a long way in supporting Rainbows in its mission to provide much-needed care and support to children and their families during difficult times.

Jack’s Journey to the finish line

Running 26.2 miles requires significant training, dedication, and perseverance, and Jack’s journey was not without its challenges. He started his training slowly and gradually increased the distance and intensity of his runs over time. As the marathon day approached, he felt nervous and anxious, but his determination and commitment never wavered.

On the day of the marathon, Jack was up early, fuelled and ready to take on the challenge. The atmosphere was electric, and the streets were lined with spectators, all cheering on the runners. Jack was a part of that massive sea of runners, determined to make a difference.

Fully focused on completing the marathon Jack pushed himself hard and as he crossed the finish line in under six hours, he felt an incredible sense of accomplishment.
