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:
Long-term Challenges
|
Barinderjit Singh Cheema's challenge is to run 10 marathons, 10 half marathons and 10 10ks in 2017, finishing with the Birmingham Marathon on 15th October. This is in aid of The Stroke Association. He gives two reasons for his choice of charity - "My dad suffered a stroke in 1992. Fortunately he survived although he is still physically affected by how severe his Stroke was. In 2015 I lost a close school friend, Neil Thompson, to a Stroke. He was 3 months short of his 40th birthday. In both cases this charity was extremely supportive for both families. I will of course be running as my alter ego, Usingh Bolt!!"
