Bev Jacobson

Bev began her running career thirty years ago when she completed the Comrades Ultra Marathon. She has since run another dozen marathons, including London, Paris, Prague, New York and the Great Wall of China. Following back surgery 10 years ago, she switched to cycling, doing triathlons and running shorter distances. However, since Bev turns 50 on the 18th November she thought it was time to take on a big challenge. Her eldest daughter has extensive brain damage following meningitis at birth and Bev is trying to raise £50k in sponsorship from this event as a way of thanking the charity which has supported her. She hopes it will enable it to purchase a house for other individuals with learning disabilities. You can read Bev's story at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/Beverley.Jacobson .
