Jack from The Garage runs London Marathon

Jack Andrews, village business owner at The Garage in Milford on Sea high street, has run the London Marathon raising donations for the British Heart Foundation.

Jack chose to run on behalf of the British Heart Foundation because his son, Oscar, just before he was 6 months old, had to have emergency heart surgery in 2021. This was due to a congenital heart condition, which will require ongoing support. 

Any parent will appreciate how traumatic that this will have been for the family, and by all accounts Oscar have been strong & brave throughout.

Jack said: "When Oscar was in hospital and we sat by his bed feeling useless. We were able to look up his condition on the British Heart Foundation website and it really helped us to understand more about the situation we found our family in. Going forward, I am passionate about the British Heart Foundation's funding for research, development and support to children’s heart conditions and surgery. They really do fabulous work to save lives and support families."


Jack also commented on his race; "I found the start of London Marathon very emotional. This brought back a lot of feelings of what Oscar went the during his 6 week stay in PiCu following emergency life saving open heart surgery. I was running 26.2 miles for my son Oscar and to raise sponsorship for the BHF.

I very much enjoyed the first half, I was able to see my wife Emma, my son Oscar and my in-laws on tower bridge I stopped briefly to give Oscar a hug. From twenty miles I felt drained and it becomes a mental fight to push the last part.

The end is huge so much energy from all spectators, I saw my Mum, Emma and Oscar just before the finish this gave me strength to finish smiling."

Jack has a Just Giving Page for anyone who would like to sponsor, or see how much he has raised now, please click here.

Wings ‘Wildlife Vision’ Presentation on Saturday

Wings will hold their second ‘Wildlife Vision’ Presentation and first AGM on Saturday 29th April in the Community Centre, Sea Road starting at 10.30am (doors open at 10.15am)

Arrive in time to view the various Wings displays. A short RSPB film will be shown on a loop leading into the presentation which will be given by Keith Metcalf.  

Keith told us; “The first short film shows the RSPB’s spectacular Bempton Cliffs nature reserve.  The film has no narrative, just light background music as the film welcomes in the dawn, unfolds daily bird life and then closes the day at dusk and darkness. It’s quite dramatic.” 

An introduction into what Wings has been doing over the past twelve-months will follow and will look at what we can all still do to help local wildlife and enhance habitats as part of their wider Vision aspirations.   

Greenshank and Redshank
on the ‘scrape’ at
Sturt Pond Nature Reserve
A second short RSPB film about our largest British wader, the diminishing Curlew will follow.  The AGM will take place at the end of the talk.  

Everyone is welcome to stay for a chat and light refreshments. 

There is no entry fee, although donations to cover expenses would of course be welcome.
