Meet some of our previous London Marathon Runners!
Michael Mumford is running in memory of his best mate, Tony
“If I was going to run the Marathon, I had to do it for charity and there was only one charity I’d want to run it for. St Christopher’s means so much to me…”
John Foster is running for a charity close to his heart
St Christopher’s will always have a place in my partners and my heart. It is where our mums gained their angel wings and we will never forget them.
When I got a place, I burst into tears. Shock, joy, wow!
Thirty years after promising that she would emulate her Uncle Chris and complete the London Marathon, Gemma Waro is all set to make good on that pledge.
Feeling inspired? Take on the challenge and be part of
Team St Christopher’s.
