Tenby’s Adam Hughes is now one step away from completing his epic year-long fundraising challenge in celebration of the 10th anniversary of his life-saving kidney transplant, after he completed the London Marathon in what were hot and humid conditions on Sunday, April 27.
It was the third marathon of the challenge so far which has also seen him complete the Welsh Three Peaks, Ben Nevis and numerous half marathons around the UK and beyond.
So far Adam has raised nearly £2,500 for his nominated charities, Kidney Wales and The Wales Transplant Football Team, and will be hoping to add to this as he builds towards his final event back on home territory, The Wales Marathon as part of the Long Course Weekend at the end of June.
Speaking on completing the world-famous London course, Adam said: “The conditions on the day made it absolutely brutal, the heat and humidity made it a real struggle but the immense crowds really lift you and drag you round.
“The noise is next level, especially the last 5 miles, I think it has to be as close as you can get to playing at a stadium in front of thousands of people!”
Commenting of his fundraising challenge, Adam added: “I’m so happy and grateful to have hit nearly £2500 in donations, it really is overwhelming and I’m so thankful to everyone who has supported me so far. Just one more to go now back home in Tenby and that promises to be a great day too!”
