Yorkshire Marathon

Mark Flanagan

I battled with addiction from a young age which caused serious problems in all areas of my life and the lives of others around me. I thought there was no hope and my life gradually became unmanageable.

In 2016, I attended The Living Room, who helped me kickstart my road to recovery. I am so grateful for everything the people at the Living Room did for me and for so many others so I am Running the Yorkshire Marathon to help support them in continuing breaking the cycle of addiction.
