Ashmole & Co Partner puts in a staggering amount of miles running to raise funds for Tenovus Cancer Care

One member of staff at Ashmole & Co has run a staggering amount of miles over the past 12 months to raise funds for Tenovus Cancer Care. Jim Cornock, a Partner with the accountancy firm, will be taking on London Marathon next week, that’s after completing Newport marathon for training last week and he ran Marathon Eryri last autumn for the charity.

Thankfully Jim is not a newcomer to running but is more familiar with half marathon distance rather than a full marathon. He has agreed to take on the 26.2mile challenge around the streets of London for the first time on Sunday, 27 April, to help raise funds for Ashmole & Co’s chosen charity for this year as it has special meaning for him personally.

Jim said, “Tenovus Cancer Care provide so much support for people with cancer. This one is personal for me as my mum passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of just 61. I have no doubt there were times when she wanted to just ‘turn around’ and go home but like thousands of others facing a cancer diagnosis, she couldn’t. That is what keeps me going during my training runs. I felt like turning back lots of times recently out on my longest runs, but I kept remembering why I am doing this.”

Jim has worked for Ashmole & Co for 31 years this year and became a partner in the Ammanford office in 2004. He works out of the Haverfordwest, Ammanford, Llandeilo and Llandovery Ashmole & Co offices. Jim enjoys all aspects of his role as business adviser, particularly the satisfaction of helping clients achieve their goals.   

Jim is married to Pamela and they have two children Rosie and Owen. Owen will be running the London Marathon with Jim for support, although Jim suspects his son might leave him behind when the going gets tough!

Jim added, “Taking part in the London Marathon will bring to a close Ashmole & Co’s fundraising 12 months for Tenovus Cancer Care. I would like to thank everyone that has supported me during my endless training during this time. It means a lot. I hope Ashmole & Co’s clients and friends will help us raise as much money as possible for this extremely worthy cause.”

Tenovus Cancer Care are a Wales-based charity which gives help, hope and a voice to everyone affected by cancer. Tenovus is there for anyone affected by cancer. Together with its inspiring community of supporters, volunteers and fundraisers, the charity is determined to be there for everyone affected today, tomorrow and beyond.
