Michael Alborzpour will be lacing up his running shoes to participate in the London Marathon this Sunday, 27 April.
Not only aiming to conquer the gruelling 26.2-mile course, but Michael is also on a mission to raise vital funds for the numerous community projects running from Waddesdon Hall.
Waddesdon Hall hosts many community projects, such as:
- The Community Fridge: A resource to reduce food waste and support families in need.
- The Swap Shop: An opportunity for residents to exchange items, fostering a spirit of sharing and sustainability.
- Family Cooking Workshops: Fun and educational sessions that bring families together to learn about healthy cooking.
- Community Meals: Regular gatherings that not only provide nourishment but also help combat loneliness and isolation.
- Community Garden: A space where residents can grow their own food and connect with nature
In preparation for the marathon, Michael has been tirelessly training, dedicating countless hours to ensure he is ready to tackle the demanding course through the streets of London. His commitment to excellence in both their athletic pursuits and charitable endeavour's is truly commendable.
Speaking about his motivation for taking part in this challenge, Michael expressed his passion for supporting Waddesdon community projects and making a positive impact in their community.
"Waddesdon Hall holds a special place in my heart. My first proper job was as an event staff member here while I was still attending the local secondary school. It was during this time that I was introduced to the incredible community work being done at the Hall. I saw firsthand how these programs made a difference in the lives of local people, and that experience changed the way I viewed community and the hidden struggles many face.I became passionate about supporting small local charities, and now, I want to give back by running the London Marathon to raise vital funds for Waddesdon Hall. I strongly believe we can all make a difference—no matter how small—when we come together to support causes like this."
