Birdy flies in London

Congratulations to Nick Bird from Nailsworth, who completed the 2009 Flora London Marathon in 3 hours and 26 mins. This was Nick’s first marathon and he has trained exceptionally well for the event and this was evident by his success. Nick decided late last year to run for the MSRC, Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre

Sporting all-rounder, Nick, 34, who counts Frocester cricket, Minchinhampton rugby and Cotswold Allrunners AC in his sporting repertoire – ran the gruelling 26-mile course on Sunday, April 26 to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis Research Centre under the banner of Alastair Hignell’s Higgy’s Heroes.

His motivation to run is because a close friend suffers with MS. “I want to raise as much money as possible in order to help find a cure for this debilitating disease – a cure that is just around the corner – that will ultimately help her and her lovely family.”
