DLA Piper has been a long standing supporter of Marie Curie and the Big Build appeal, but we have a particular personal commitment to this charity since they provided great care for Russell Orme, the late office managing partner of DLA Piper.

As part of our latest fundraising initiative, a DLA Piper team and Russell's son Matthew, will run the Conwy Half Marathon. The course is particularly notable for a lengthy and steep section known as The Great Orme - which for those of you who remember Russell feels very appropriate!

We would very much appreciate any support you can give for a great cause and in memory of a great colleague and friend. Taking part in the run will be:
