Marathon appeal to running enthusiasts
The London Marathon is calling once again and Action Cancer NI is appealing to running enthusiasts in the area to register before the charity’s closing date of February 26.
Scheduled to take place on Sunday, October 3, the London Marathon is one of the six World Marathon Majors. It has an iconic route passing through famous London districts and past many landmarks, including the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.
After the cancellation of the 2020 Marathon, Action Cancer is delighted to have been allocated a limited number of places for this year’s event. A fantastic package is available including guaranteed race entry, three nights’ accommodation in a 4-star hotel and transfer to the race start.
Participants are required to raise a minimum amount of sponsorship. Action Cancer will provide support and guidance, as well as promotional materials to help runners reach their goal.
Action Cancer’s Community Fundraising Manger Leigh Osborne said: “We hope to raise in excess of £15,000 which would allow us to provide 125 women with breast screening appointments, or 370 counselling appointments for individuals or families affected by cancer. Every runner who signs up will receive support from our dedicated fundraising team to help reach their fundraising target.”
