Challs run the London Marathon for Get Kids Going!

Colleagues from Challs International & Primo Manufacturing are raising money for Get Kids Going! by running the Virgin London Marathon on Sunday 28th April 2019.

Ed Burchell, Chris Peck and Marlini Finney are in training to complete the run, which is no mean feat, as only two years ago, Chris and Marlini would never have considered themselves runners, let alone being able to run the 26.2 miles! We're delighted to support them with a donation and you can too by visiting their page at uk.virginmoneygiving.com/challs.

Get Kids Going! is a national charity which gives disabled children and young people the wonderful opportunity of participating in sport. It has been chosen because Marlini understands first hand how important sport is to children with disabilities.

Marlini's daughter, Maya, suffered from Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a genetic skin condition that causes the skin to blister and tear at the slightest knock. She loved sport and was able to exploit her competitiveness to such an extent that she was selected for the Paralympic pathway for her chosen sport of Boccia. A keen sporting talent, Maya remains the inspiration for this challenge.
