Story

            *** IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM TEAM DAD’S ARMY ***

We recently received the disappointing news that the 2020 edition of the London Landmarks Half Marathon will not go ahead on Sunday 29 March 2020. The event organisers, along with the rest of the UK, had been closely monitoring the escalating Coronavirus situation and at a time of such uncertainty and worry, felt that it was only right that they do not go ahead with the event.

As you know and can appreciate, this event was special for all of us as it gave us the opportunity to show Dad/Grandad our support during his chemotherapy treatment whilst also raising funds for Bowel Cancer UK.

HOWEVER, our support for Dad/Grandad is ongoing and as a team, just like Dad/Grandad, we refuse to give up! It is because of YOU, our wonderful supporters, that we have been recognised by Bowel Cancer UK as fantastic fundraisers and the charity are therefore delighted
to transfer our team onto the Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday 11 October 2020 as they, like us, really want us to be able to do our run this year.

As we know you’ll understand, given Bowel Cancer UK’s heavy reliance on funds raised through events like London Landmarks, the financial impact on them as a charity will be significant. They are more than happy to move our sponsorship over to the event, but given the circumstances, they’d be so grateful if we could do all we can to raise even more. COVID-19 is going to impact their work considerably and
will make it even harder for them to raise money, so they would be grateful for any additional money we are able to raise.

You are welcome to pass on this Just Giving Page to other friends and acquaintances who you think might like to show their support for Dad/Grandad and Team Dad’s Army!

Much love and thanks for your continued support.

Together, we will soldier on for Dad/Grandad!
