London Landmarks Half Marathon
David Bucknall is raising money for Tommy’s, the pregnancy and baby charity
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am raising money for Tommy's, the baby charity. I've set a target of £305 as I will be running 5km a day throughout April and May which will equate to 305kms run. Hopefully I can achieve £1 for every 1km. Have a confirmed place for the London Landmarks Half Marathon
Every baby deserves the best start in life, and Tommy's are committed to funding medical research and providing information to help more mums and dads have a healthy pregnancy and birth.
