Sam Shaw Runs New York Marathon

Director of Skipton-based Estate Agents Harrison Boothman, Sam Shaw is running the New York Marathon (26.2 miles) on Sunday 5th November.

I'm aiming to raise £1,000 for Skipton-based children's charity - The Principle Trust who provide free week-long respite holidays to children who are underprivileged, disadvantaged, disabled, have life-limiting conditions, or who have experienced poverty, trauma or abuse.

This isn't the first time Harrison Boothman have supported the local children's charity, in May this year Sales Valuers Jacob and Austen ran the Leeds Half Marathon and raised an amazing £1,000, which supported two families each with a life-changing holiday.

The Trust's 100% donations policy ensures every penny raised from events and marketing directly benefits the children and their families.

This is the first time I have attempted such an event, running over 26 miles through all five New York City Boroughs to reach the finish line in Central Park. It is the largest marathon in the world and I will be supported by my wife, Penny and my two daughters, Ashley and Alice.

Please wish me luck!

All donations very much appreciated.

If you could give a little it would mean a lot.

Thank you for your kindness.
