In 2012 Terry Lander applied for the London Marathon for the sixth year in a row which made it hard for him to remember why he’d entered in the first place. Despite having no previous running experience he finally decided to take up a charity bond place with St John Ambulance and started to train for the biggest challenge of his life.
