Marco Oliveira is running the 2020 London Marathon in memory of his wife Julie and in aid of Action for Children’s North Devon centre. The charity works in local communities across the UK to protect and support the young and vulnerable.
Based in Barnstaple, the motorcycle industry award-winning former field manager has not done any significant running for 30 years, and although the fact that he is currently seeking work means he is has a bit more time to train, the size of the challenge is starting to dawn on him!
Julie Oliveira, the mother of the couple’s three children, passed away in 2008 after a short fight with cancer.
