Virgin London Marathon
Congratulations team Back-Up!
Sunday 25th April 2010
The Back-Up team of runners and pushers were amazing this year and have raised over £26,000 between them and still rising! Despite some early rain the race went well, we had 8 super stars whose legs and arms carried them the 26 miles and pushed themselves to the limit to support people with a spinal cord injury.
A huge THANK YOU to:
Debbie Cragg, Hester Sellers, Simon Cliff, Ben Wright, Daniel Hill, Kirsty Heppenstall, Sam Harris, Mark O'Neill, their friends, family and everyone who donated - it is a truly inspiring achievement!
The Virgin London Marathon is one of the most famous running events in the world and The Back-Up Trust has five guaranteed spaces for 2011.
