Hi, my name is Ellie Richards and welcome to my fundraising page for the: -

MY SQUADRON:

No 600 (City of London) Squadron of the Royal Air Force Reserves (600SQN) is the oldest RAF Reserve Squadron in the UK. It was formed in 1925 and has a rich prestigious past with many battle honours which include the Battle of Britain in 1940. 

2018 is the 100th anniversary of the Royal Air Force (RAF), known as RAF100, and during this special anniversary year 600SQN will continue to make history by raising money for good causes. The total amount raised from 2011 to present day can be found using the hyperlink below:

MY EVENT:

The London Marathon, presently known through sponsorship as the Virgin Money London Marathon (VMLM), is part of the World Marathon Majors (Berlin, Boston, Chicago, London, New York City and Tokyo) and is regarded as one of the best, if not THE best marathon event in the world. I'm immensely proud to be representing 600SQN and the RAF Reserves at such a prestigious event.
