VETERAN Stourbridge marathon runner Pete Teale says he’s run his last 26-2 mile race after completing Sunday’s London Marathon.
Pete, who works as catering manager at Old Swinford Hospital school in Stourbridge, has run five marathons and 20 half marathons over the years to raise money for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) in memory of his daughter Zoe, who died in 2009 of an undiagnosed heart condition at the age of just 23.
He’s raised more than £100,000 for the charity which holds annual screenings students at Old Swinford Hospital school in order to detect cardiac abnormalities which may otherwise go undiagnosed.
Pete, aged 61, raised £3,700 for CRY after completing Sunday’s marathon, which he vowed would be his last.
