Story
On the 12th October, two of our amazing team members will be lacing up their trainers and running the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2025 in order to raise funds and awareness for Meeting Needs!
A message from Katy
This will be my first time running a half marathon (and I’ve never run anything close to this distance before), so it’s definitely going to be a challenge - but I’m excited to take it on for such a great cause and maybe even cross the finish line with a smile on my face!
A message from Meg
I'm delighted to once again be joining the Meeting Needs team and running the Royal Parks Half! Training has been non-existent this year, so I have no doubt it will be a huge challenge (I do not recommend this strategy!) but it all be worth it for such a wonderful cause and with such a fabulous team.
