🏃‍♂️ Curly Gaz – Running the 2025 London Marathon for Plymouth Argyle’s Project 35

Hi everyone! I’m Gary “Curly Gaz” Packer —aka CURLY GAZ EATS 

This year, I’m lacing up for one of the biggest challenges of my life — the London Marathon — to raise funds and awareness for Project 35, Plymouth Argyle’s landmark social impact initiative run in partnership with Ginsters and the Argyle Community Trust.

Project 35 is all about taking action to tackle poverty and food insecurity in Plymouth, a city where, in some areas, up to 35% of children are living in poverty. The project delivers real change — from free school holiday meals and weekend hampers to community food donations, education, and pastoral support.

Every step I take in this marathon is for those families, for the Green Army spirit, and for a stronger, fairer Plymouth.

Your support — big or small — will help keep Project 35 running strong and ensure no one in our community is left behind.

💚 Thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s do this together!
