A Royal Gibraltar Police who swapped his police boots for running shoes has raised £1,375 for Childline Gibraltar by running the Malaga Marathon last Sunday.

Police Constable Warden finished the 42km event in 4:08:21 – beating his best time of 4:28 in the Malaga Marathon in 2019.

The 31-year-old returned to front line duties on Response Team 2 the following day (Monday) – albeit with some slightly stiff legs.

The dad of two said: “It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, as I was more prepared for the event this time around. It was a good run but my legs are still sore today. 

“I’m happy to have raised that much money for Childline as I wasn’t expecting to get that much. Thank you to everyone who sponsored me and the RGP charity committee who gave me £200 too!”

Every year, more than 600 people call the Childline Gibraltar Helpline. Many are children feeling scared about things happening in their lives. Others are adults worried about a child’s safety. 

Childline Gibraltar’s free telephone and live chat helpline service is available every day between 5pm and 9pm and takes more than 600 calls a year.

The charity also offers a support service for adult victims of childhood abuse and a 24/7 ‘appropriate adult’ service for young people who’ve been detained by the police.
