With the London Marathon almost upon us, we’re delighted to share that we’ve added another couple of participants to our sponsorship! In addition to Charlie Redman, who is running for Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance which responded to his late father Neil (director and co-founder of SEMPRIS) in his hour of need. Charlie’s Marathon page is here https://2024tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/charlie-redman-23
We’re also pleased to be able to support Jake Keeling from ‘P3rform’, who many of you will know from his rehabilitation work with professional footballers and other elite athletes, headquartered at St George’s Park, and who will be running for Prostate Cancer UK https://www.justgiving.com/page/jake-keeling-running-challenges-prostatecanceruk
And last but not least, Lauren Blain who will be running for Children with Cancer UK https://2024tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/lauren-french-blain
Good luck to everyone taking part!
We’d also like to mention the new book by Professor Bill Ribbans and Mark Saggers, ‘A Plague On All Your Sports: When Covid And Sport Collided. It’s another excellent read, and we hope to be talking to Bill and Mark in more detail about it very soon, so look out for the interview!
