Richard Garland

Richard, who lives in the USA, will be running the Antarctic Ice Marathon on behalf of The Adam J. Lewis Pre-School in Bridgeport, Connecticut, which was set up in the name of Adam Lewis. Adam worked at Keefe, Bruyette and Woods at the World Trade Center and died in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. His widow, Patty Lewis, decided to build the school in Bridgeport, which is the poorest city in Connecticut, with the worst educational standards in the state. Richard is working toward joining The 7 Continents Marathon Club and the Antarctic Ice Marathon will be his sixth marathon on his fifth continent. He has previously run New York, London, Boston, Tokyo, and Lewa, Kenya, and hopes to join the Club by 2019. Richard is also aiming to run the Chicago and Berlin marathons by 2020, so he will also have run each of the six Marathon Majors.He is also considering whether he has the stamina to complete the World Marathon Challenge and run seven marathons in seven continents in seven days.
