London Marathon 2018 · 22 April 2018 ·

There is nothing quite like the atmosphere of the London Marathon! This year Team Centrepoint will be taking to the streets at this world famous event to help give homeless young people a future.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Perhaps foolishly, I’ve decided to run the London marathon for a third time. Given my pitiful lack of training, I need all the motivation I can get when things get tough around Canary Wharf - so please sponsor me if you can! 

I chose to support Centepoint because the rising problem of homelessness among young people is something we’ve been covering a lot at the Guardian, where it was also the focus of our Christmas appeal. This piece by Sali Hughes explains the issues better than I can:

Any and all contributions very gratefully accepted!!

Many thanks, Owen
