COME ON THE ESPH LIONS! DOING IT FOR CHARITY…

With under 3 weeks to go until we take on football marathon number 5 the ESPH Lions are getting into decent shape. We have a good squad, half of us marathon vets and the other half new to it all (they won’t be very pleased with me afterwards but hey-ho). I believe we also have the biggest age range of any team with our youngest cub George at 17, and our oldest grizzled lion Brain taking on his third marathon at 57. The perfect blend of youth and experience.

Fundraising is going quite well – we’re in 8th place on the fundraising league table but we’ve still got quite a way to go to hit our target of £2,250 so please help out in any way you can. Tackle Africa, if you don’t know them, do a really fabulous job harnessing the power of sport to educate and transform lives. All their working capital comes from fundraising and I can vouch for how lean a ship they run. All the money raised goes into their programmes. For further info please visit: tackleafrica.org

So come on people, if you haven’t done so already dig deep, rattle those piggy banks and help us out.
