Southport ‘Marathon Man’ John Curd recently visited the Southport Lifeboat house, having raised £800 for the charity by running and cycling thousands of miles.

John, who is aged 76 and lives in Marshside, ran and cycled 2,280 miles, the equivalent length of US Route 66.

He completed the challenge in aid of the Southport Offshore Rescue Trust, the independent charity that runs the Southport Lifeboat.

John started the challenge in January, finishing it in the middle of June. He ran the overwhelming majority of the distance.

John said: “In total I have now completed 120 full marathons and 235 half marathons, 35 of which were Great North Runs.

“I have also taken part in literally dozens of virtual runs or challenges over the past 18 months, including the 509 miles Camino de Santiago Virtual Challenge. Sadly, most of the organised running events had to be cancelled or postponed.

“I’ve helped raise money for many charities close to my heart, both local and national, including Queenscourt Hospice, Alder Hey, Prostate Cancer UK and MIND. John has previously raised funds for the Southport Lifeboat in 2015, when he ran in his 30th Great North Run in aid of the charity.”

John was invited to visit the Lifeboat Station to meet the volunteer crew at training last month.

He said: “I wasn’t aware as to how much work and expertise went into protecting people on our coastline 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

“Running and cycling 2,280 miles over the course of just a few months was very challenging given that I’m almost 77 years of age. It was particularly tough when the weather was more inclement in January.

“However, visiting the Lifeboat Station has made me realise that it was all worth it. They are a completely independent lifeboat organisation, and they rely almost entirely on charitable fundraising.”

Nick Porter, Coxswain of the Southport Lifeboat said: “It is remarkable the number of charities that John has helped over the years by taking part in these challenges, and we are grateful that he chose to support us once again.

“It was a pleasure to invite John to the current boathouse and show him first-hand how the money he has raised will make a difference for us. It will mostly be used to furnish our new station which is due to open later in the year, and provide a better working environment for our volunteers.”

Since completing the Route 66 virtual challenge, John has completed his 36th Great North Run in Newcastle in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support and last month he took part in the Virtual London Marathon, raising hundreds of Pounds for Pancreatic Cancer UK. 

It costs £60,000 to keep Southport Lifeboat functioning all year round. That is no mean task during ordinary times, let alone the extraordinary times we currently find ourselves in.

Southport Lifeboat is funded entirely through public donations, and is independent of the RNLI.

There are other ways you can help the charity continue to save lives, including joining LifeboatLotto or online donations.

    I believe that a foreclosures can have a important effect on the client’s life. Home foreclosures can have a Six to several years negative influence on a client’s credit report. A borrower who’s applied for a home loan or just about any loans for instance, knows that the worse credit rating is usually, the more tough it is to get a decent financial loan. In addition, it could possibly affect any borrower’s capacity to find a reasonable place to let or rent, if that results in being the alternative real estate solution. Interesting blog post.

In addition they know what type of cars are susceptible to higher risk plus the higher risk they may have the higher the premium price.

    One thing I’d really like to say is the fact that before getting more computer system memory, check out the machine directly into which it is installed. When the machine is actually running Windows XP, for instance, a memory ceiling is 3.25GB. Applying a lot more than this would merely constitute a new waste.

    Thanks for the tips you discuss through this blog. In addition, quite a few young women which become pregnant usually do not even attempt to get medical insurance because they fear they probably would not qualify. Although a few states at this moment require that insurers present coverage no matter what about the pre-existing conditions.

    Thanks for expressing your ideas on this blog. Furthermore, a misconception regarding the banking companies intentions any time talking about property foreclosures is that the bank will not have my repayments. There is a specific amount of time that this bank will need payments from time to time. If you are also deep inside hole, they may commonly desire that you pay the actual payment in full. However, that doesn’t mean that they will not take any sort of payments at all. When you and the standard bank can find a way to work anything out, this foreclosure procedure may halt. However, in case you continue to miss out on payments underneath the new strategy, the foreclosure process can just pick up from where it was left off.

    I have realized that over the course of developing a relationship with real estate proprietors, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in every real estate contract, a commission is paid. Ultimately, FSBO sellers will not “save” the payment. Rather, they fight to win the commission simply by doing an agent’s task. In this, they shell out their money plus time to conduct, as best they can, the tasks of an broker. Those duties include disclosing the home through marketing, representing the home to buyers, developing a sense of buyer emergency in order to trigger an offer, preparing home inspections, controlling qualification assessments with the lender, supervising repairs, and assisting the closing.

    It is indeed my belief that mesothelioma is most dangerous cancer. It’s got unusual features. The more I look at it the more I am convinced it does not act like a true solid cells cancer.

This is because the software operated through these cpus will inevitably increase in power to leverage the new technological innovation.
