PLRT Runners fundraising for Sparkles - supporting children with Down’s Syndrome

Raising money for Sparkles - supporting children with Down’s Syndrome

The Big Half 2025 · 7 September 2025 ·

Sparkles is a small, parent-led charity providing speech and language, physio and occupational therapy to pre-school children with Down’s syndrome living in and around Bucks. We have helped over 100 children make themselves heard in the world, ease their path into childhood and ultimately school.

Story

Four colleagues — Ian Bryson, Aniket Patel, Anand Sathe, and David Leech — are taking on the London Big Half Marathon in support of a small charity called Sparkles, of which our QRT colleague Bushra Maqsood is a trustee.

Our running experience varies — Ian is a seasoned marathon runner, while David is just hoping to cross the finish line before it’s packed away, and Aniket and Anand are somewhere in between. Wherever we're starting from, we're united in raising money for a great cause and we’d really appreciate your support.
