Iain Jowett

Iain will be running for Born Free in a Teapot!  To raise funds for Born Free but also to raise awareness for his friend Bruce Smart, aka TeaPotOne. 

In October 2012, Bruce Smart will be embarking on the charity event of a lifetime. He will be riding his motorbike around the world to raise funds & awareness for selected charities including Born Free. En-route he hopes to visit some of Born Free's projects, discovering the work they carry out, and help out where he can. Bruce currently is a serving police officer and has worked 10 years for the Metropolitan Police Service. He was inspired by his late mother to do the trip when she said to him "Don't ever have any regrets, look after those you love, but live your life." Bruce aims to raise £1m for 4 charities, riding 100,000 miles! What an amazing person.

The Born Free Team were up in London to cheer on the Run Wild Team!  Family and friends gathered at the Born Free marquee meet and greet area to welcome and congratulate the runners who completed the 26.2 miles on one of the hottest days of the year.

We are delighted to say that all our runners finished and for the second year running Katie Wilkie came in first of the Born Free runners in 3 hours and 44 minutes!

A huge thank you to our marathon runners we truly think you are amazing to do this on behalf of Born Free.
