Jack Warren, 20, attended The Weald Community School and Sixth Form and is currently studying Biological Sciences. He said: “I’m hoping to study Graduate Entry Medicine after uni. I have been a volunteer first aider for St John Ambulance for almost a year now. I decided to do Bath Half to raise money for a great charity and spread awareness of the important work they do.”

Jack joins five other students, all of whom are all members of the Exeter University First Aid Society (EUFAS). The team will run the Bath Half Marathon on Sunday, March 4, with one of them using it as training for competing in the following month’s Virgin Money London Marathon.

St John Ambulance is urging runners who have secured a place in the Virgin Money London Marathon to consider raising money for charity, as they take part in the iconic event on Sunday, April 22.

Anyone who won a place in the ballot, without choosing a charity to support, can still put their best foot forward to fundraise for St John Ambulance, the nation’s leading first aid charity.
