Virgin London Marathon 2012 · 22 April 2012 ·

HMS ALLIANCE, a WW2 era submarine is the memorial to the 5,300 British submariners who have given their lives. Her infrastructure has deteriorated dramatically, a deterioration that has proved hard to stop due to difficulties of access. An urgent programme of restoration is vital. Can you help?
