The 2019 London Marathon
On the 28th April 2019, 6 runners tackled the 26.2 miles on behalf of Calvert Trust Exmoor. Thanks to Jo, Nicholas, Jessica, David, Brandon and Colin for raising over £9000 – which we’re aiming to improve on in 2020.
In the build-up, the group fundraising through bingo sessions, sponsored treadmill runs, musical evenings, cake sales, and they collected money from work colleagues.
On the day itself, everyone had high spirits. Jo was caught on camera giving a wave, showing lots of enthusiasm…
Here’s Jess, holding her much deserved medal after crossing the finishing line…
Plus Jo celebrating with hers after doing everyone proud. She raised over £2000 via a Justgiving page…
Colin, who entered through a Ballot place, decided to fundraise for the charity and trained by running around our reservoir…
And finally, Nick who also raised over £2000…
Jess had the following to say about the experience…
“This is the first time I have got really involved with charity work and supporting Calvert Trust Exmoor has been such an amazing and rewarding experience. The support they have given me with my fundraising has been incredible and I would just like to say thank you to the team for this. I have been invited up to the centre a few times and I can really see where the money that has been raised is needed and how important it is. Running the London Marathon has been one of the best experience I have ever done and the hard work has been worth it for this amazing charity.”
Whilst Jo added…
“It was such a privilege to run the London Marathon for a fantastic local charity, seeing the amazing work they do really inspired me to put my heart and soul into training and fundraising. The support was lovely, they came to all our events and kept us updated with news about the marathon.”
