Eight runners from across the country all successfully completed the London Marathon on Sunday 26th April, so far raising more than £14,000 in aid of historic parks and gardens.
Congratulations and huge thanks to all our runners: Soo Bin Choi, Josh Eadsforth, Ed Jones, Brett Mussell, Jack Newman, Elliot Parsons, Edmund Tan and Alec Tostevin on their massive achievement! They were cheered on by our Director Linden Groves and volunteer Lina from our stand along Woodland Way in Rotherhithe, around mile 10 of the course.
