My name is Jeff Bynon, I'm 37 and work in social housing for a local authority in Cheshire West. The liverpool half marathon will be my second half marathon, so my goal is to beat my previous time, or PB of 1 hr 48 minutes.

I heard about LUCIA from a family member who was fortunate enough to visit Ethiopia and see first hand the great work that the charity supports directly to people that need help most. As I didn't have a sponsor in mind LUCIA seemed the perfect choice and I feel privileged to support the cause. I hope I beat my PB but really raising some cash will be more important, it will be good to know that my enjoyment of the race will result in something positive for the people of Ethiopia, with the support of LUCIA.
