A PLYMOUTH dad running a rescheduled marathon for charity this weekend said he is ‘over the moon’ that he will now be joined by his daughter.
Mark Bricknell, 60, had been preparing to run the Newport Marathon in October 2020, when it was postponed due to pandemic restrictions.
A lot has changed in that time, not least that the proud father will now have a running partner - his daughter, Megan, who was stuck in New Zealand during the first stages of the pandemic.
Mark, who lives in Plympton, said he was delighted when his daughter agreed to run the rescheduled 26.2mile event with him this Sunday.
