Hector Sants 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>Somehow I've ended up doing this again - so once more I'm asking for your support, which makes such a difference to both me and the wonderful charity I'm running for. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The Art Room helps children and young people in raising their self confidence, esteem, and independence through their involvement in art.&nbsp;</p> <p>The project is something that my family and I have been supporters of for a number of years. My brother managed to cover 184 miles in aid of the Art Room, so I reckon trundling 26.2 around London is the least I can manage.&nbsp;</p> <p>This year the Art Room has also welcomed HRH The Duchess of Cambridge as a patron, a fantastic endorsement of the work that they do.</p> <p>Please give generously, as every donation, no matter the size, is put to good use.&nbsp;</p> <p>If anyone wants to be there on the day to feed me, cheer me on, or carry me, please do! I'll try and make it to the finish in one piece.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm also open to any suggestions for fancy dress / novelty method of completion, within reason...&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
