Kidscape Runners Go The Extra Mile – Flora London Marathon 2008

Thank you!

Although the weather on 13th April 2008 could be considered typical April weather with glorious sunshine and equally glorious showers, the 35,000 runners pounding the streets of London, cheered on by 500,000 spectators, and tangible atmosphere of excitement was unlike any other normal Sunday in London.  The Flora London Marathon was most definitely underway, and amongst the runners were six very special people taking part in the Flora London Marathon for Kidscape. 

Ashman Bailey, Andy Catlett, Mike Hiner, Mark Kolesnikow, Matt Rawsthorne and Kevin Parke took on the ultimate challenge for Kidscape, joining professional athletes and celebrities crossing the finishing line after 26.2 miles, and raising over £14,000 (and still counting!).

Kidscape’s first ever London Marathon team trained hard for months, running in sun, sleet and snow, and fundraised equally hard.  We are very proud of them for this incredible achievement, would like to say an enormous THANK YOU for all their hard work and supporting Kidscape in such a significant way.

Thank you also to Ronhill and New Balance, for kitting out our runners in the finest vests and running shoes.

We will make sure that all their efforts go an equally long way towards helping badly bullied children all over the UK.
