Marathon completed by all team Sevenoaks, despite the sweltering temperatures!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. On 10 April 2010, eight intrepid and foolhardy teachers from Sevenoaks School will be running the Paris Marathon in aid of Hospice in the Weald. The runners are: Alex Smith, Chris Cockerill, Martin Dalibard, David Vaccaro, Jo Gladstone, Sam Gladstone, James Emmitt, and Phil de May. The marathon is 42,195 km in the City of Paris…We will be running alongside 40,000 other runners, setting off from the Champs Élysées Avenue to Foch Avenue running through Bastille, Nation, Vincennes, les Tuileries… Hospice in the Weald provides specialist palliative care advice and clinical support for people with life limiting illness, their family and the bereaved. Services are provided on the basis of need rather than ability to pay. Hospice In The Weald is a charity, dependent on the community to fund its essential work - their Government funding is only around half that afforded to other adult hospices.   Watch this space for fundraising events happening in the New Year.   Tuesday 25 January: "King of Instruments" concert - St Martin's Church, Brasted. Featuring choirs, chamber groups and soloists from Sevenoaks School. Update: The concert raised £620!   Sunday 27 February: Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon   Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
