On 22 April 2012 one of our producers at Bigview, Elizabeth Brown, will be running one of the great British sporting events - the Virgin London Marathon! The course is a gruelling 26 miles and 385 yards long, passing through the streets of London from Blackheath to the famous finish line at The Mall and Lizzie is putting herself through all of that for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. JDRF are an absolutely brilliant charity which exists to find the cure for type 1 diabetes and it's complications, it is the world's leading charitable funder of type 1 diabetes research. Lizzie's training is well underway so we thought we'd do our bit to help with the fundraising.
Through Virgin Money Giving you can sponsor Lizzie quickly and easily and all donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. As much or as little as you can spare would be hugely appreciated by Lizzie and the JDRF team.
