The event, which takes place at Harrow School Sports Centre, also supports Neel Radia, the NACC’s national chair, and his commitment to running the Virgin London Marathon on Sunday 28 April to raise funds for the hospice.
Sophie Murray, deputy national chair of the NACC, said: “We’re really looking forward to the NACC Marathon Relay and bringing members together to raise as much money as possible for St Luke’s Hospice. A big thank you to everyone who has contributed to making the event happen by giving their time or by donating their services and facilities. It’s going to be a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing how some of the team chose to complete their mile!
“As well as raising money, the charity event is our way of showing Neel Radia our support of his fantastic commitment to running the Virgin London Marathon for St Luke’s Hospice. He’s training incredibly hard to complete the full 26.2 miles and raise vital funds for the charity that means so much to him.”
Each member of the NACC Marathon Relay team will complete one mile of the 26.2 miles that make up a marathon, in whatever way this wish; from walking and running to crawling, skipping or jumping.
People signed up include: Matthew White from TUCO; Philip Shelley from Taunton & Somerset NHS Trust; Judith Scurr and Corina Davison from Hadrian Healthcare; Gary Farrell from Creed Foodservice; and Andy Jones from PS100.
Following the Marathon Relay the team will visit St Luke’s Hospice to see first-hand its work.
