After running my first ever marathon 30 years ago, I thought it was time to give it another bash! I was fortunate enough to be given one of a very limited amount of spaces in the London Marathon on behalf of Strutt & Parker who are supporting the Seb Coe Charitable Foundation and Cancer Research UK. We are raising funds for The Francis Crick Institute, which will be one of the most significant developments in UK biomedical science for a generation. Our ambition is to raise a huge and amazing sum for this wonderful cause that in the future will save the lives of those we love.

The Inverness Strutt & Parker team have already raised a significant amount this year with the recent charity golf day raising over £6,500 and more recently our coffee and cake afternoon adding another £400.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support.................
