2018 Virgin Money London Marathon

[p]I am excited to be running the 2018 London Marathon on 22 April for the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust.[/p][p]This year the London Marathon falls on the 25th anniversary of Stephen Lawrence’s death in a racist attack at the age of 18; it is also the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Trust by his parents, Doreen and Neville. As an architect I have a special interest in their Building Futures programme which encourages, mentors and supports talented young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to study and qualify as architects, a career that Stephen had hoped to follow.[/p][p]Your support will not only help to make a difference to these young people now – it will make a difference to the rest of their lives. As a marathon first-timer it is also of great encouragement that you will hopefully be thinking of me on the day! [/p][p]Thank you for your support and for being part of my run.
