Action for Children is looking for runners from West Midlands to join its Virgin Money London Marathon team ahead of the world famous event taking place on April 24th. The event is the perfect opportunity for runners already registered in the race to raise money for disadvantaged children and their families.

Action for Children fundraiser Kim Izzard, said: “If you’ve already had the excitement of being allocated a place in this most famous of all marathons, you can now take the opportunity to run and fundraise for Action for Children and help us to change the lives of neglected children, young people and their families across West Midlands and the UK.”

All Action for Children runners will receive a support package including:

  • A fundraising pack
  • Training guides and tips from the experts
  • Advice and support from a dedicated local fundraiser
  • Regular e-newsletters
  • An Action for Children running vest with iron on letters
  • Action for Children cheering points
  • A post-race reception within stumbling distance of the finish line where you can enjoy a shower and a massage!
