@OfficialBRFC Delighted to have been on of them!

My two boys and I loved the match. Great to see the win, especially after being unfairly sent a man down.

In the wake of the horrific synagogue attack in Manchester, we felt it important to re-share this moving essay by Edward Hadas, a Jewish convert to Christianity, written as antisemitism once again rises across the world.

Our hearts are with the Jewish community in grief. Yet may our grief become the seed of solidarity and peace.

A beautiful article by @_BenCurran about former MP John Battle's work with his local community. They're not "all the same".

Fabulous spotlight piece on John Battle by @_BenCurran

‘For John, the Common Good is not a vague ideal, but a lived, relational ethic. “It starts with two things: the dignity of the person, and the need to include everyone”.’

In an age that prizes mobility and individual success, one man's long commitment to his West Leeds neighbourhood speaks of a different kind of vocation—one rooted in relationship, perseverance, and hope.

@_BenCurran spoke to John Battle about how he has built the Common Good not through grand gestures, but through quiet, consistent presence.

I met John Battle for the first time shortly after he stopped being an MP & began fighting to save Bramley baths.

He is an inspiring and passionate man.

I hope that transfers through to the article.

Let me know what you think

Saddened to learn that Uriah Rennie has past away.

He was a trailblazer, glass ceiling smasher, a community builder, empowerer, supporter and friend.

RIP Uri. Sheffield is a poorer place without you.

✔️ Found my name!

It's inspiring to see how big the wall is. Over 50,000 people will be running the marathon tomorrow.

The excitement is really starting to build now!

✔️ Collect bib number.... check!

It's starting to feel real now.

I'm feeling a mixture of nerves and excitement.

Quite a few people said you'd sponsor me nearer to the race. Consider this a friendly nudge. 😉🤣

✔️ Race shirt.... ready!

Looks good, doesn't it!?!

I can't believe that it's almost race day. I've ran nearly 400km in 2025.

Sponsor me?

Three weeks to go and I get a hip injury.

I'm determined to keep going. So I'm on the elliptical.

This is all part of my efforts to run the London Marathon and raise funds for @asthmalunguk

I ran the Sheffield half marathon today.

I took it easy on the hills and finished strongly. My second half was 10 minutes quicker than the first.
