The Ilkley Half Marathon was another meaningful event shared between David and his son James, undertaken in support of Alzheimer’s charities.
Set against the challenging terrain of Ilkley’s surrounding countryside, this half marathon demanded determination and resilience. And these are qualities mirrored in the cause it supported. Running together added an extra layer of motivation, turning the challenge into a shared experience rooted in purpose rather than pace.
Events like this highlight the quieter side of fundraising: Fewer costumes, fewer crowds, but just as much heart. The Ilkley Half Marathon stands as a reminder that impactful fundraising doesn’t always require spectacle. Sometimes, it’s just about commitment, connection, and a willingness to keep going.
