Story
Introduction
Thank you for taking time visit Team Midcounties London Marathon 2022 Just Giving Page. We are proud to be partnering with The Outward Bound Trust whom are an educational charity that helps young people to defy limitations through learning and adventures in the wild.
They challenge young people to never give up, to change their perspective and to learn the most important lesson: to believe in themselves.
Our team consists of five runners; Stuart Newman, Julian Wilkins, Ethan Morris, Toby Moy and Alex Breeze.
The Challenge
The first London Marathon dates back to 1981, 41 years ago! Interestingly its origins can be traced back to a discussion in a pub. Team Midcounties will be taking on the ultimate endurance challenge running 26.2 miles / 42.195k! Wehave a combined fundraising goal of £10,000 and would be so grateful for any donations big or small.
The Charity
The Outward Bound Trust was founded all the way back in 1941and are a long standing charity partner of Midcounties Co-op. The charity was originally created to save young lives directly threatened in World War II. Today they refuse to sit back from inspiring and empowering young people to overcome any challenges that might come their way.
Your donations will enable Outward Bound to continue to run adventurous and challenging outdoor learning programmes that equip young people with valuable skills for education, work and life.
As we emerge from the pandemic, the need for what Outward Bound does for young people has never been greater. We would love if you could donate today to support their fantastic work and the Team Midcounties runners.
THANK YOU.
