Double marathon challenge for Leeds solicitor

Tom Jackson.

Tom Jackson.

Intensive training sessions for both the York and London Marathons are not affecting Leeds solicitor Tom Jackson’s workload.

He trains at 5.30am each morning and runs at least 60 miles a week, ahead of his double challenge for 2013.

The real estate lawyer has signed up to do both marathons - and was one of the first to register following the announcement of the first ever York Marathon.

He is raising cash for Marie-Curie nurses and intends to raise at least £2,000. His fundraising efforts will provide ten nights of care for a Marie-Curie nurse.

Tom, 28, who lives in the city centre, and works for law firm Walker Morris said: “I cover around 60 miles a week, going along Kirkstall Road, the city centre and canal. I signed up for the York marathon yesterday and now have two marathons this year.

“Marie Curie nurses do a vital job in caring for people in their own homes and I am keen to raise as much money as possible to support this vital work.”
