Marc Petters, a firefighter and charity enthusiast, ran 31 half marathons in 31 days in March 2021 to raise money for The Tommy Crush Foundation and Hudson the Superhero Charity. Since discovering his passion for fundraising during the pandemic, he has taken on numerous endurance challenges. The Tommy Crush Foundation supports vulnerable youth and raises awareness about mental health in schools. Inspired by a 10-year-old boy with cerebral palsy, Petters aims to fund workshops for grassroots football clubs to address mental health and well-being among youth.
In February 2021 everything was crazy and everyone was down, so I decided to do some charity work. I ran 21 miles in one month and raised 55,000 for a premature baby unit and a mental health unit, and it gave me the bug for helping people.
I have a passion for raising money. I am a trustee for Tommy Crush - we're a charity that supports children between 14-24 who are vulnerable to suicide and put on workshops.
Through his involvement with Erith Town Football Club, Marc met Hudson, a 10-year-old boy with cerebral palsy, and was immediately inspired to help.
Hudson is a 10-year-old boy, who has cerebral palsy, and after spending five minutes in their company, he inspired me to want to do something to help.
