Thank You Marathon Runners

May 31, 2023

We are so thankful for our amazing fundraisers who ran the London Marathon on behalf of Links last month. Our runners have worked tirelessly to prepare and train for the incredible challenge that they completed. And, as well as the huge amount of physical work they have put in, they have worked so hard to raise funds for us at the same time.

We couldn't be more grateful for all they have put into this, and we think each and every one of them is amazing. The money raised is going to make a huge difference around the world.

We will be sending out a more in-depth summary of the marathon soon, so keep a lookout for that. But here are a few quotes from our incredible runners:
"Runners are strange people - we moan about the hills, the rain, the heat, the distance... and then we go back and do it again. Thank you LINKS for your support and for allowing me to run in the London Marathon. I loved every minute!!"
Ian Dickinson

"I wouldn't have had this opportunity if it wasn't for Links Charity, so I will be forever grateful and I will look back on the London Marathon with fond memories.  I hope the money raised will go towards providing long-term sustainable solutions and lasting change in the world we live in."
Sarah Jenkins

"Thank you so much for letting me run for the charity - it really was an honour."
Hannah Taylor

"The London Marathon was always a bucket-list event that I have tried to get into a few times with no success, so to finally get to run it was phenomenal."
Matt Jolly

Thank you so much Ian, Sarah, Matt, Hannah and Chloe from all of us at Links!

Have you been inspired to take on the challenge yourself and raise funds for us in the process? If so, email us: hello@links.charity. We would love to chat with you further!
