Team Andy, George and Steve, Allison Homes is raising money for Diabetes UK

The Lap: Lake Windermere 47 Mile Ultra Marathon · 11 September 2026

Diabetes UK is the charity leading the fight against the UK's devastating and fastest growing health crisis, working to create a world where diabetes can do no harm. It’s a fight that involves all of us – sharing knowledge and taking diabetes on together. Join us.

Story

A team from Allison Homes, Andy Richards, Georgina McCrae and Steve Lapthorne are taking on a gruelling physical challenge, 47 mile ultra-marathon, to help raise critical funds for Diabetes UK.

We have 24 hours to circumnavigate England’s largest and most iconic lake, Windermere. Climbing almost 8500 feet, on completely ungroomed trails in The Lake District https://www.thelap.co.uk/

Diabetes is one of the largest and most urgent health crises in the UK, affecting millions of lives every day. Over 4.6 million adults have a diagnosed condition, with 1.3 million more undiagnosed, and another 6.3 million living with pre-diabetes – meaning roughly one in five adults are living with or at high risk of developing the condition. Within the UK construction sector alone, that means more than 400,000 people are estimated to be living with or at risk of diabetes, many unaware. This highlights a critical need for awareness, education, and support – including shining a light on the financial impact to the sector. By taking on The Lap, Allison Homes has the power not just to raise vital funds, but to shine a spotlight on this hidden crisis, helping colleagues, suppliers, and the wider workforce recognise the risks, break down stigma, and take action to protect their health. We cannot thank you enough for your support.
