Going the extra mile for friendship

A huge WELL DONE to Kevin McDaniel, who joined more than 40,000 people to run his first London Marathon celebrating the theme of #WeRunTogether. He had an amazing day and even with the unexpected warm weather managed to realise his ambition by finishing in 4 hours and 17 minutes. 

Kevin said afterwards: “Even before I took up running I’ve always thought this would be an amazing event to be a part of and it truly exceeded all my expectations. I had great support along the way from family and friends, and this together with the cheering crowds, helped me across the finishing line.

I chose to run for The Link Visiting Scheme and I am very grateful for everyone who has sponsored me so far. Funds will be used towards activities throughout December, including a Christmas Day Lunch, so that no one feels isolated. You can still donate so that even more older people will feel less lonely this Christmas which is a cause I feel passionate about.”

Everyone at the charity is amazingly grateful for Kevin’s support, and that of everyone who has sponsored him. If this event has made you think that you would like to support our vital work by setting your own challenge, please do get in touch.
