Brentford’s athletic performance coach Mat Bramhall is running the London Marathon and is raising money for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY)

He said: โ€œIโ€™m looking forward to it. I took part in the London Marathon last year, Manchester the year before so, in terms of marathons, I kind of know what to expect.

Mat was keen to run for a cause that meant something to him, and wanted to continue the work done by Brentford in raising money and awareness for cardiac health.

โ€œIโ€™m running for Cardiac Risk in the Young. I wanted to run for a charity that has a particular meaning, either for myself or for people I know,โ€ he said.

โ€œWhilst I never knew Rob Rowan because I arrived at the club after he sadly passed away, it’s very clear how much his legacy still lives within the club.โ€

If you would like to donate to CRY and support Mat, you can findย more informationย on his JustGiving page.
