Tom Fields: Running for a Cause – 12 Marathons in 12 Months
At The Fit Club, we love seeing our community push limits, set goals, and inspire others. But some challenges go beyond fitness – they’re about making a real difference. That’s exactly what Tom Fields is doing as he takes on 12 marathons in 12 months, all in support of Guts UK Charity.
Why This Cause?
Pancreatitis is one of the most painful yet under-researched illnesses out there. Tom has seen firsthand how devastating it can be – a close family member suffered life-threatening complications from the disease. Thankfully, she recovered, but the experience opened Tom’s eyes to the lack of awareness and funding for digestive diseases. Now, he’s on a mission to change that.
The Goal: Awareness & Action
Tom’s challenge isn’t just about endurance – it’s about raising awareness and vital funds for Guts UK, the only national charity dedicated to fighting diseases of the gut, liver, and pancreas. With over £2,100 raised so far, his efforts are already making an impact, but he’s determined to go even further.
Training & Endurance
Taking on 12 marathons in 12 months requires extreme dedication, and Tom credits The Fit Club as the perfect environment for his training. From strength conditioning to endurance-focused workouts, he uses every resource available to stay prepared for each race. In the video, he goes deeper into his training approach, the mindset needed to tackle such a challenge, and how The Fit Club supports him every step of the way.
How You Can Help
Supporting Tom is easy – whether it’s donating, sharing his story, or simply following his journey. Every contribution helps fund research, better treatments, and earlier diagnoses for digestive diseases.
