Dale's London Marathon Journey

Here at Startin Group we are immensely proud to announce that one of our Honda technicians Dale Bozward will be participating in the London Marathon in October, raising money for the fantastic charity St Richard’s Hospice with the aim of raising £2,500. Dale is a well-loved, valued member of our team and is an inspiration for all of us across the business. We’re aiming to give regular updates of his journey leading up to his marathon run in October, so stay tuned with us at Startin to get more insight into his training methods and the charity he’s raising money for, as well as the big event itself. 

Dale began to endure a difficult period couple of years ago, and with the Covid-19 pandemic bringing the world to a standstill, he decided to give running a try in order to help combat the decline in his mental health and wellbeing. This provided him with a buzz that he had never experienced before, and each time he put on his running shoes and stepped out the front door, he had the ambition to go a bit further with each run.  

However, Dale isn’t just doing this to tick an objective off his bucket list. Dale’s mother has a serious progressive illness, and the wonderful people at St Richard’s Hospice have provided exceptional care, attention and support to his mother and the wider family, whether that is in relation to physical, mental, or spiritual needs. Dale can’t thank St Richard’s Hospice enough for what they have done for his family and other patients in the centre, so he’s going to do all he can to raise as much money as possible for this fantastic charity! 

If you would like to donate to Dale’s cause, you can do so on his JustGiving page with all proceeds going to St Richard’s Hospice. Don’t forget to follow us on social media and keep your eyes peeled on our website to get the latest updates on Dale’s marathon journey!
