Tom’s involvement with PSPA started in 2007 when he began running marathons for charity. A veteran of over a dozen runs, including three marathons (London twice and New York once), Tom continues to regularly pound the pavement and through his love of the sport has brought PSPA to the attention of many other runners and supporters. He has been a Trustee since 2012.
