Congratulations to all of our Virgin Money London Marathon runners!

The 2019 Virgin Money London Marathon took place on Sunday 28th April and Helen Rollason Cancer Charity had 10 fantastic fundraisers running the world famous route, raising thousands of pounds for the charity!

A huge congratulations and well done to Hayley, Laura, Dan, Emily, Rev Rod, Mark, Melanie, Michael, Adam and Ryan. Total funds raised will be announced soon but there is still time to donate! Use the links below to sponsor your runner…

More than 42,000 runners completed the world famous route, making the 39th edition of the race the biggest in its history. Money raised for charity through the marathon since its conception in 1981 has now passed £1 billion; an incredible achievement.
