London Marathon 2009
15 March 2009
On the 26th of April 2009, Build Africa supporters Richard Thomas and son Mathew Thomas, Kim Valentine (representing her employer The Consortium, a company raising funds to build a school), Alan Wilson (representing his employer SELB, also raising money to build a school), and Phil Vernon, a Build Africa Trustee, tackled the arduous 26 miles of the London Marathon along with 35,000 other runners in order to raise over £15,000 for Build Africa.
As a fundraising event, there is no marathon in the world that comes close to the Flora London Marathon. It has been at the forefront of charity running for a number of years and many other races all over the country have replicated its model.
Thank you to our runners and their sponsors, families and friends for their kind support. The race may be over but the fundraising continues - there is still time to help our five brave runners sprint towards their fundraising goal.
