Twelve AMREF UK runners took on the challenge of the Virgin London Marathon on Sunday 25th April, and look set to have raised over £25,000 to support our life-saving work across Africa.
The atmosphere on the day was amazing, and we are extremely proud of all our runners, who put in so much hard work and effort over the last few months, both in training for the big event and also in fundraising to support our work.
AMREF supporters were out in force, including friends and family of the runners, volunteers and staff members. Many, many thanks to everyone who took part!
Our AMREF marathon stars this year are:
Tim Biggs
Claire Briant
Shivonne Graham
Richard Greenland
Karen Kufuor
Katie McIntosh
Nick Padgett
Sian Rees
Robert Sharrock
Joe Thorneywork
Caroline Tulloch
Tracey Whittington
We hope you are not feeling too stiff today, and think you are real heroes! Wear those medals with pride!
