Our super supporter Howard will be pounding the streets of one of Europe’s most famous cities to raise money this Spring. 

Howard Jones will be taking on the Milan Marathon in Italy on April 6th and has been spending the last few months training to be race fit.

“It’s great to be supporting a local charity that provides such important care for children and families,” said the managing director at Momentum Wines, in Oswestry.

“We raised some money for Hope House some years ago when they were our Charity of the Year, and I’m delighted to be raising more money for such a worthy cause again.”

Sponsor Howard

Howard started his training in September for the marathon which will start and finish in the iconic Piazza del Duomo, and while he enjoys running, he says a run of this distance is a different challenge all together.

“I did complete the London Marathon a few years back, while I really enjoyed it, it was hard work. But the training will all be worth it when I have crossed the finishing line knowing I have raised money for Hope House,” he said.

Our fundraiser Vicky said: “We are so grateful to Howard for all his training efforts for the Milan Marathon in April and for choosing to support local children and families.

“Without support like this we would not be able to be here to help local children with a life-threatening condition to live their best life.

“Thank you Howard and good luck with the race, we’ll all be cheering you on!”
