YMCA Worcestershire is proud to announce that two dedicated staff members will be running the London Marathon in April 2025 to support the vital work oft he YMCA.

Nick Skett and Natalie Skillern, who have been integral parts of our team and are now taking on the formidable 26.2-mile challenge to raise funds and awareness for our organisation. Training for the marathon has been a rigorous yet rewarding journey.

Nick says: “Running the Marathon is not just a personal challenge for me; it is a testament to my resilience and a message to others that no matter how dark their past, they can always find the light. I want to inspire the young people I once supported and show them that they, too, can overcome their struggles and find their purpose.”

As race day approaches, Nick & Nat are looking forward to the excitement of participating in one of the world’s most prestigious marathons. We wish them both the best of luck and thank them for their incredible commitment to making a difference
