100 marathons to mark RAF centenary for Lossiemouth Corporal

On 29 June, Corporal Jon Ward will take on 11 marathons in 11 days as part of his 100 marathon challenge.

Based at RAF Lossiemouth as a Logistics Mover, Jon’s first ever marathon was back in 2007, when he took on the 26.2 mile race in London, completing it in four hours 56 minutes.

It was two years ago, however, that Jon set his sights on joining the exclusive 100 marathon club. A challenge which would pay homage to his career in the Royal Air Force as he aims to complete his last ever race on the centenary of the RAF.

Miramar Executive Search – Supporting Future for Heroes

Over this last year Miramar, an executive search company based in Richmond, Surrey, has given fantastic support to Future for Heroes.
