Jeremy Clay

Competing as a tribute to work colleague and friend - Mark Clifford - who took part in the 2006 North Pole Marathon. Tragically, Mark lost his life in a quad bike accident in the UK on the day of the 2007 North Pole Marathon. When a place in the 2008 event was offered as a tribute to Mark, Jeremy took up the challenge. He will run in Mark's memory and also raise funds for Mark's favourite charity - Hope and Homes for Children (HCC). All proceeds from Jeremy's North Pole Marathon endeavour will help provide loving homes for children who have lost their families due to disaster or famine, principally in Eastern Europe & Africa. Jeremy has never run a marathon before and is not keen on the cold! However, he has always participated in sport, mainly soccer, and has completed three London Triathlons and one half-Ironman. These experiences should stand him in good stead at the North Pole as he runs in tribute to a "fantastic and totally crazy man".
