Flora London Marathon
Mr Anil Nijhawan, 63, a volunteer at Slough Age Concern, embarked on his second Flora London Marathon this year.
Mr Nijhawan’s first marathon in 2004 raised money for Age Concern. This time around we are very greatful that he managed to raise the wonderful sum of £1,210 for Heal.
Before the race, he said: “Three years ago the nearest to running I had done was to run for a bus, but in 2004 in a moment of madness, I decided that I was going to take part in the marathon.
“Then it dawned on me that I would have to get fit to run. So, with gritted teeth, I joined a gymn and started training. Hard work, dogged determination and foolhardiness are a prerequisite for marathon running!”
We thank you so much for your efforts!
If anybody wishes to run the London Marathon next year, or undertake any other energetic pursuit, and are looking for a charity to support in your quest, we would love to hear from you. Please contact Kathleen Bardell at healsec@lineone.net.
Thank You.
