Honoring Dad Through a Half Marathon | Nottingham News

Darren Coates is running the Robin Hood Half Marathon to honor his late father, Ian Coates, a beloved school caretaker tragically killed in Nottingham. Darren, a first-time half marathoner facing personal physical hurdles, aims to raise tens of thousands for Huntingdon Academy — a place his dad deeply loved and transformed through mentorship. The school remembers Ian with a memorial garden, and Darren’s run will be joined by legal reps from the families affected by the attacks, uniting grief with purpose. A GoFundMe is already helping turn this tribute into lasting change for students. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
