Rob Young was 31 in April, 2014, when he said suddenly everything changed.

“Profoundly moved by the charity fundraising stories I saw on BBC TV during the Virgin Money London Marathon 2014, I set off the very next day to run my first ever marathon and been running ever since,” he said on his fundraising page.
