St. Michael's Fellowship have a a long history of entering runners for the London Marathon. As a charity we depend greatly on the contributions made by fundraisers in order to carry out our work. The London Marathon, which began in 1981, is known and respected across the world as a prestigious athletic event and is the single biggest annual fundraising event nationwide raising millions of pounds for good causes.
In 2007 16 runners completed the Marathon in brilliant times ranging from 3 hours 45 minutes to 7 hours 6 minutes. For the majority it was their first London Marathon. Between them they raised £21,855 a fantastic total, of which we have used a quarter to completely refurbish a communal area in one of our family centres creating individual work areas within one kitchen, a new dining area and sitting room to improve the facilities for families.
