Hinckley AFC’s club photographer Mark Parsons is inviting you for sponsorship as he takes on the Bosworth Half Marathon this spring.
Mark can regularly be seen snapping his lens pitchside, but will instead become the focus on Saturday 12th May when he takes to the roads of the borough for his half marathon.
He was encouraged to take part after Boxing Day’s events, when supporter Mike Allcock collapsed at our home game against Heather St John’s.
Being first aid trained, Mark was one of those who helped treat Mike, who is now recovering at home.
He’ll be raising money for the club and local heart charity Keep The Beat, and is encouraging you to sponsor him.
He said: “It’s not until you’re involved in such an incident that you realise just how precious life is, particularly at what should be such a joyful time of year.
“I’ve subsequently decided to do my bit by running the Bosworth Half Marathon for the Congenital heart charity Keep The Beat, and Hinckley AFC – splitting the money between the two causes.”
You can support him by heading to https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/mark-parsons-1 or by seeing him on a matchday.
