Support ARC Members Here
Over the years, ARC members have raised thousands of pounds for different charities, often but not exclusively in connection with the London Marathon. See below for details of those who are currently fundraising, whether it be in connection with a single event or a longer-term challenge.
If you're about to start fundraising did you know that there are alternatives to JustGiving and they probably are a better deal for the charity? You can read about the fees charged by charity giving sites here.
When you have set up your fundraising page, don't forget to email details so that you can be included here.

Victoria Bird is taking on a year of challenges from June 2018 - My 2019. She says:
"My little girl has lung problems and has been very poorly since early toddlerhood with infections but more so since January 2017. While we are trying to find a diagnosis and get used to this way of life the British Lung Foundation have been amazing with their help. I have spent many a sleepless night at hospital wondering what will happen and their advice over the phone, emails and website has been a source of comfort and help at a much needed time. I want to help give something back and help little ones and adults suffering with lung conditions. My fundraising journey of a year will start at the beginning of June- 1st 2018 and end 31st May 2019, I am aiming big and hope to raise a lot of money". You can support Victoria through her ViginMoneyGiving page. |
