Contact’s team of amazing London Marathon runners surpassed themselves yesterday completing the 26.2 mile course around the capital’s streets on a blisteringly hot day.


Despite the monumental challenge being made even harder with the heat, our determined team of 17 runners didn’t let it stop them.


Spurred on by the atmosphere created by record breaking numbers of runners as well as cheering crowds, they all completed the course and bagged themselves an iconic medal.


Beena Patel, Head of Individual Giving at Contact, said: “We want to say a huge congratulations and well done to our spirited bunch of London Marathon runners.


“We are so grateful for your efforts and achievements with your months of training and fundraising and taking on such a big challenge to support families with disabled children. We thoroughly enjoyed cheering you on and are so proud of you all for yesterday’s heroic efforts. Thank you from all at Contact and the families we support.”
