Treasurer: Andy

I joined Frontrunners when I moved to Hove after the coronavirus lockdowns were over. I'd always been a "jogger/park runner" but never managed to stick with it for long. Being a member of this club over the last year has been an amazing journey. With the support of so many new friends, I've gone from struggling to get around a 5k without stopping to catch my breath to completing the Brighton Marathon (with a couple of half marathons and cross-country races along the way). I'm now seriously tempted by an ultra-marathon...watch this space.

Running has helped with my mental health and well-being as well as my physical fitness, but feeling socially connected to such a great group of people has been the biggest benefit.

Outside of running I work in well-being for a homelessness charity and have previously been a Mental Health First Aid instructor, so it's very rewarding to be able to share some of my knowledge and experience to support my fellow members as welfare officers.
