Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit this page 

Many of you will know our friend and work colleague John Garratt, who has had to retire from work recently with serious ill health. Action for Children is John's chosen charity, and so we are all trying to raise as much money as we can on John's behalf.

28 of us are therefore raising money for "Action for Children" by running the Leicester marathon on the 10th of October. We are either running the half marathon, or the half marathon relay.

We would really welcome whatever donation you can make to our fundraising efforts please.

All runners will be raising money through individual sponsorship, as well as the money we raise on this website. There is also a sponsorship form on reception at Sovereign House (1st floor) for anyone who visits the TLE offices. 

If you want to know more about the run or the fundraising, please feel free to contact Hannah Smith, Ian Colledge, Edelle Fennelly or Rob Thomas at Leicester City Council.

Thankyou all for your support, and we'll let you know how we get on.
