On Sunday October 13th, our Managing Director Matthew Milliken will be running the 2024 Bournemouth Half Marathon, in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Everyone at Mandolay would like to wish Matthew every success, as he attempts to smash his own personal best time for a half marathon. Matthew has quite recently taken up running again after quite a break, and it’s amazing that he is setting new PBs, years after he began…all those years ago!

Run Bournemouth, the organisers of the half marathon describe the course as ‘spectacular, and beautiful with some glorious views of the coast and beyond’ It then goes on to mention cliff tops and steep drops, so we’re not too sure if Matthew will be spending much time admiring the views?

One rather special feature of the day will be the opportunity to run along not one, but two piers, Boscombe, and then Bournemouth which is where the race ends.

Macmillan does an enormous amount of work to help cancer sufferers and their families overcome all the hardships associated with this dreadful disease. They offer support in lots of different ways and you can read more about them on their website www.macmillan.org.uk

Macmillan is the UK’s leading cancer care charity, and Matthew is proud to support them, if you would like to sponsor his run, please visit his Just Giving page.

Thank you.

We will be updating everyone on Matthew’s progress, and letting you know his time…so no pressure then Matthew.
