Ryan Robinson successfully completes London Marathon 2022

Blues Foundation are over the moon to confirm that having raised over £2,000; Bedford Blues Media Manager, Ryan Robinson yesterday completed the 2022 London Marathon!

His first ever marathon event, Robinson underwent a gruelling 16-week training programme designed by Blues Sports Therapist, Rudi Chaplin to ensure a successful day’s outing in the capital – passing iconic venues such as Cutty Sark, Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, Westminster and much more along the route.

Robinson completed his hat-trick of fundraising events for Blues Foundation with a real ‘bucket-list’ effort; following his previous exploits in the Try January 2021 campaign and the Bedford Half Marathon last year.

There’s still time to donate to Robinson’s fundraiser here!

Speaking after crossing the finish line, Robinson said:

“I am really proud to have achieved such a momentous feat. I think it’s probably on most people’s bucket lists to run the London Marathon, but I never really thought I’d get the opportunity to do it or be in shape to run that far.

“It was certainly a challenge but knowing we’d raised so much money to continue having an impact on the lives of so many in Bedfordshire was definitely a motivating factor and that, twinned with the crowd, guides you to the finish.

“A huge personal thank you from me to everyone who has donated to the campaign; this money will allow Blues Foundation to do some incredible things and really help those in the community who need it most. I can’t wait to go out on location and see the impact and look forward to sharing some of the case studies with everyone.

“I’ve done a few fundraisers now for Blues Foundation… let’s see what’s next!”

Blues Foundation Manager, Tom Harwood said:

“We are all so proud of Ryan and thankful for the funds he has raised. The Marathon is the ultimate test and Ryan smashed it out the park completely. The funds raised will go directly to supporting our programmes, our community support and will enable us to support local people. From all of us involved with Blues Foundation, thank you!”
