Chris' Art Room Marathon

Chris Boas is raising money for The Art Room
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Virgin London Marathon 2012 · 22 April 2012 ·

The Art Room works with over 500 children each week in socially deprived areas of the UK. Using art as therapy we offer respite from the difficulties they face. We help them reengage with their education and support them in gaining confidence and independence as they learn and achieve through art.

Story

<p>Thank you for reading my page.</p> <p>I am lucky enough to be running the marathon to raise money for a fantastic cause - the Art Room.</p> <p><a href="http://www.theartroom.org.uk/">http://www.theartroom.org.uk/</a></p> <p>This will be my first marathon, aged 40, pretty much the definition of a mid life crisis - happily this will be a crisis genuinely put to good use if you are generous and kind enough add a donation.</p> <p>I am aiming to finish in 3hr 30mins, and donation-based "encouragements" will spur me to beat this time line. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
