Clark & Rose Employee Racing in London Marathon for Charity
Clark & Rose accounts assistant, Christine Marshall, is stepping up her training ahead of this year’s London Marathon which she will take part in to raise money for the CLIC Sargent appeal.
Christine has decided to nominate CLIC Sargent, a charity caring for children with cancer, as beneficiary of her fundraising efforts because a friend and running partner’s child had previously been diagnosed with leukaemia and the family received a great deal of help from the organisation.
The London marathon has always been a goal for Christine and she considers it high up on her ‘to do’ list before she reaches 40.
Christine has previously taken part in 10ks and half-marathons but this will be her first attempt at the 26 mile competition which saw over 35,000 runners taking part in 2007.
Christine has made many sacrifices due to the intense training she is going through and she is sticking to a strict diet, ensuring a minimum of eights hours sleep per night and cutting back on nights out. She said:,
“I am extremely excited about taking part in this year’s London marathon and I would like to thank all my colleagues, friends and family who have so generously donated to my fund which will be donated to CLIC Sargent.
“My training is going very well and I am grateful to all at Clark & Rose for your words of inspiration as you head to the pub on a Friday night!”
