Story

This April, I will be running the Virgin London Marathon 2018 with 5 other CLIC Sargent fundraisers, attempting Guinness World Record for the 'Fastest Six Person Costume'. We're running as Ghostbusters (The Ecto-6) and will be carrying our version of the Ghostbusters Ecto car for 26.2 miles! Jay, Andy, Meg, Holly and Freddy and myself have ran a few marathons between us, running another might not be that surprising to anyone and so we decided to make London 2018 a little more challenging. 

Between the Ghostbusters team, we have completed skydives, triathlons, 10 Marathons in 10 weeks, the UK Marathon Challenge, 8 Marathons in a year, 1000 miles in 7 months and a 36 hour radio DJ-a-thon. As a team for the London Marathon 2018, we aim to raise over £15,000, which would bring the overall lifetime total raised between us for CLIC Sargent to a staggering £125,00!

CLIC Sargent is the UK's leading cancer charity for children and young people, and their families. They provide emotional, practical, financial and clinical support to help them cope with cancer and get the most out of life. They are there from diagnosis onwards and aim to help the whole family deal with the impact of cancer and its treatment, life after treatment and , in some cases, bereavement.
